Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A light double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially when you have children of different ages. They're 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 has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger. Side-by-Side The majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can stand up without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about getting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create another seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It can be pushed through standard doors and is easy to move around on public transport. It is also an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier. Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization with 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 great option for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around. Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move around even with a full load of children. Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may still argue over who gets to sit in which spot. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem model could be better for them, as it will allow them to confront each other. Tandem While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. double infant strollers can fit a larger car seat and others have reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions. The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a great value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is easy 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 possible to fold it with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast. Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however they are more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slow to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which can cause strain on your back. A convertible double buggy is another option. It is initially an individual however, you can add adapters to make it double. It could have the option of a second seat, a carrycot or both in front. Children can share a seat. Some of them also offer the option to add buggy boards that 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 at PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be placed side by side or attached to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without displaying much wear, indicating they have the highest resale value. Single-to-Double This compact double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of various age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design that is as elegant as a single. It comes in different fabric colours. We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot. You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are plenty of options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat having the option of recline. This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards. One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its 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 has a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys. This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include 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 to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This versatile tandem is the most popular 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 positions. Its lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever way that it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands, including those that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
