Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair (tst.ezmir.co.kr) makes it simple to get around, particularly if you have children of 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, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for children who can sit up on their own because they tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature if you want to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a variety of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It provides even more customization thanks to a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to turn it into a single stroller or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double pram buggy, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move even with a load of children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however -If your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's 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 challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards that could help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be attached together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing any wear, indicating they have the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclined seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having an option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. They often start out as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient parent cup holder as well as an ample, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
