Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with an expanding frame width to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children who can stand up without assistance because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to allow for a second child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature when you're planning to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame.  Full Survey  has a smart design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of maneuver even with a load of children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who gets to sit in which spot. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have Reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a an excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also a little slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It starts out as one however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. They can include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. The children can be seated together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent 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 area 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, when it's compatible with the. These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's really simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. And there are plenty of options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry loads. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, it can be a problem. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family requirements. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40 pounds per child and has a storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the 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 has a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps to make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many people praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
