Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have children of varying ages. They're typically simple to steer, fold and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in the width to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can stand up without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and 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 fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to add an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to turn it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It is a practical option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and stylish strollers available.


If you're looking for a compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to carry even when loaded with children.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. Some can fit a larger car seat and some have reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a an excellent value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels 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". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they can be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or 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, which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

single to double pushchair can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing any wear, meaning they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of different age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's really simple to master. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are plenty of options for reclining, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.

This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. 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 are generally good at coping with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry loads. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, it can be a hassle. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with 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 can adapt to changing family requirements. They typically start as single buggies, but include adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have small pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain and a compact fold that stands up on its own with straps for easy transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. single to double buggy is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top pick from 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 extremely light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction and the clever method by which it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
