Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A light double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly for families with children of various age groups. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs. This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also comes with an expanding frame width to accommodate an additional car seat or another 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 sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, which makes it lighter than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side on the market. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great news when you're planning to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. The clever design allows you to convert it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market. If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to handle even when stuffed with kids. Although they're lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still argue over who gets to sit in which position. If they're at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother. Tandem While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to get in and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the young children. The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides great 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. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold – although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be “genius”. The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick. Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It is initially an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot in the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some also have the option of incorporating a buggy board, which could help an older child keep up with younger siblings. The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. 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, which means they have a high resale value. Single-to-Double This light double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single-stroller. lightweight twin stroller can be transformed into a jogger using a kit that includes 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 great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours. This iCandy model is very easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot. The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclined seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having the option of recline. The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry loads. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of the family. They typically start as single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard. One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, which are just large enough to hold the phone and keys. This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This versatile tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing the parent. It is easy to move around due to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it connects 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 in other double buggies.
