Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, particularly if you have children with different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs. This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate an additional car seat or an additional passenger. Side-by-Side The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier. Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. The clever design allows you to convert it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It is a practical option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find. Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to carry, even when fully loaded with kids. Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are of the same age or stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them as it allows them to confront each other. Tandem While side-byside models are more for children with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to move into and out of however their baskets are typically smaller than those of single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for little ones. The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold – although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's “genius”. The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick. Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally make more precise turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back. A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to make it a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can sit side-by-side. 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 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be positioned in a row or joined to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without displaying much wear, which means they have a the highest price resales. Single-to-Double Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek style that's as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric. We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's really easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot. The seat can be used parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for reclining, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline. This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. best double strollers in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance. Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing needs of families. Often, they start as single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board. One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have pockets that are not big enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys. This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including those that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
