Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over steps.This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second car seat and compatible car seat(s).Side-by-SideThe majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. 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 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about getting through doors.The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to add another child seat.

It offers additional flexibility due to a modular frame.

If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still argue over who sits in which spot. If they're at different heights, then the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother.TandemWhile side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to get in and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they can be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or 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 an individual however, you can add adapters to make it double. They can include the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can share a seat.

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 kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, indicating they have an excellent price resales.Single-to-DoubleThis lightweight double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller.

This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.ConvertibleConvertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of families. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain.

Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
