Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?A compact double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.Side-by-SideThe majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and 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. These are also easy to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great news if you want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a variety of exciting colors.The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to use even when loaded with kids.Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are of the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.TandemWhile side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides an excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.Another option is a convertible double buggy, which is initially a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers.The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.Single-to-DoubleThis compact double buggy is made for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children of different ages, and as triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours.We loved the way this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's really easy to master. And although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.double buggy from birth Pushchairs And Prams can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to do a good job of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, it can be a hassle. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.ConvertibleConvertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. They are typically single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easily accessible basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
