Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have children with different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport 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 has a frame that expands in the width to accommodate a second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, as they tend to lack 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 big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can be pushed through standard doorways 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.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move around, even with a full load of kids.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still argue over who sits in which position. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be better for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings of the same age tandem Pushchairs And Prams are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while some have reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out and a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double stroller double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, however they are more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slow to speed up and are heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It is initially an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be attached together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that, is perfect for twins or children of different ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design that is as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely easy to master. And although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for recline in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. 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 example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40 pounds per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets that are just sufficient to hold a phone and a set of keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and a compact fold that can be folded up with straps for easy 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'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including some that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
