Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A compact double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially when you have children of different ages. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs. This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate a second car seat or another passenger. Side-by-Side The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for children that can sit up on their own since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. However 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 wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about getting through doors. The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to add an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. cheap double pushchair is also a jogger which is great if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It provides additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market. Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of move around, even with a full load of kids. Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other. Tandem While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. Some can fit a larger car seat and some have reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to get in and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions. The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as “genius”. It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick. Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however they are more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slightly slower to speed up and are heavier to move, which could cause stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It starts out as an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat area for infants. They can be attached together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing any wear, indicating they have high potential for resale. Single-to-Double This compact double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring kits that include air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different age groups and as triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics. We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it really simple to master. And although it's heavier than some of the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot. The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for reclining, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat having a recline option. This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to perform well in coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance. Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing needs of the family. Often, they start as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards. This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by the home testers. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents, and a large easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, that are just sufficient to hold a phone and a set of keys. This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier. This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either way, and the clever method by which it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
