Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for kids who can sit up unassisted since these models tend to lack 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 huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create another seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you're looking for a compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single to double buggy or double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to handle even when loaded with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double stroller double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -when your children are at the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight stokke double stroller pushchairs offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in front or children can be seated side-byside. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards, which can help older children 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 open space for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible with the. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using kits that include air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins or children from different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's very simple to master. And although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. And there are plenty of options for recline in the front, with the seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry loads. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing requirements. They are typically single and double stroller buggies and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an integrated storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents as well as an ample, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs have tiny pockets, which are only large enough to hold phones and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has 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 have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is simple to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
