Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A compact double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially if you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over stairs. This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat and compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for children who can sit up unassisted since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about getting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add an additional seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier. Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you transform it into a single buggy 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 makes 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 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver even with a full load of children. Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though — if your children are of the same age or stage they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights then a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other. Tandem While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to access and exit from however their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions. The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be “genius”. The carrycot cannot be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy. Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It starts out as one, but you can add adapters to make it a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some of them also have the option of adding a buggy board, which could help older children keep up with a younger sibling. The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to one another and you can use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). As they're made with quality materials, these buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without showing much wear, meaning they have the highest price resales. Single-to-Double Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. thule double stroller 's also a good option for twins, or children from different ages and, as a triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design as elegant as a single. It 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 easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot. You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline. This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. It's easier to turn around on the smallest curves of 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 The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing requirements. They are typically single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard. This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40lbs per child and comes with an extra storage basket in between the seats. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have tiny pockets, that are just big enough to fit phones and a set of keys. This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and comes with a second seat 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 to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from various brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
