Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A lightweight double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly when you have children of different ages. They're typically simple to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs. This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors. The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for additional flexibility due to the modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available. Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move even with a load of kids. Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though — if your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it lets them confront each other. Tandem While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs that are lightweight have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even cushioned leg cushions. The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it “genius”. The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick. Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they can be more difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back. A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It's initially a single, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing any wear, meaning they have the highest potential for resale. Single-to-Double Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different ages and as a triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric. This iCandy model is easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot. You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having an option to recline. The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, it can be a problem. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board. One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. compact twin stroller appreciated its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are only large enough to hold the phone and a set of keys. This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way that it attaches a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
