Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down steps. This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of the light double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about fitting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add an additional seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or baby carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It provides additional flexibility due to the modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of a single 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 is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market. If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of move around, even with a full load of children. Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however — if your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, then the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face each other. Tandem While side-by-side models are best for children with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to get in and out of however their baskets are typically smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for young children. 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 some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as “genius”. The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick. Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they can be more difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be a little slower to speed up and are heavier to move, which can cause strain on your back. A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It starts out as one but you can also add adapters to make it a double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in front. The children can sit together. 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 transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value. Single-to-Double This lightweight double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric. This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using the use of a single hand. Although it's heavier than other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside. You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options to recline the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat also having a reclining option. The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still have plenty of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. pushchair twin are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance. Convertible The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride a buggyboard. This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 pounds per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent as well as a large, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys. This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain and a compact fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier. This versatile tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is simple to maneuver due to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some that don't normally fit into other double buggies.
