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+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pram buggy pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add an additional seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side on the market. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature if you want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's also available in a variety of fun colors.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double buggy with carrycot, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a good option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest double stroller (utahsyardsale.com), most stylish and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how sleek and simple it was to handle even when stuffed with children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are of the same age or stage they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs that are lightweight offer their own perks. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others have reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they can be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot in front or children can be seated side-byside. Some also have the option of adding buggy boards that could help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin buggy from birth pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat 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 when it's compatible with the. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.

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 converted into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of various ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek style that's as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold with a single-handed system. It's also heavier than other pushchairs that are single to double buggy-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are many options for reclining and recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat having the option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models 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 space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a little 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 also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets that are just sufficient to hold the phone and keys.

The only drawback is that you'll need buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
