Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, especially if you have children with different age groups. They are generally 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 a smart frame that can expand in width to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. double infant stroller doubles as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to 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's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around. Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to carry even when loaded with children. Although they're light double pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who gets to sit in which position. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is best for them, as it allows them to face eachother. Tandem While side-byside models are more for children of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while some have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to get in and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than those of single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions. double running buggy is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it “genius”. The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick. Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be more difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This puts strain on your back. Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which can help 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 at PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be positioned in a row or joined to each other's faces and you can use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price. Single-to-Double For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of different ages. It's a great choice for parents who want a chic design that is as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors. This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers and a carrycot. You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options to recline the seats with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat also having an option to recline. The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards. One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a phone 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 an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat. This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its extremely light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
