Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A lightweight double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly when you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the stairs. This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame the width to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger. Side-by-Side The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit up without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting through doors. The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. This means it fits through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great news for those who want to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors. Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of 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 single double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how sleek and simple it was to carry even when loaded with children. Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to face each other. Tandem While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out and a cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for little ones. The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as “genius”. The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick. Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they can be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is another option. It is initially a single, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. This can include an additional seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some also have the option to add a buggy board, which can aid an older child keep up with younger siblings. The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible with the. As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing much wear, indicating they have the highest resale value. Single-to-Double Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children from different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics. We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. Although it's heavier than other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it. You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having the option of recline. The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies and include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board. One of the most lightweight double stroller s on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows 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 are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys. This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps for easy transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat. This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to move around due to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
