Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A compact double pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially when you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over 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 peekaboo windows. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children who can stand up without assistance, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are great for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways. The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it smaller than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. This means it fits through doors that are standard and is easy to move around on public transport. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It provides additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers around. If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of move even with a load of kids. Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them as it allows them to look at each other. pushchairsandprams While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to move into and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of little ones. The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides an excellent value. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's “genius”. It's not foldable without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast. Tandem strollers that are lightweight usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could 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. Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can also have a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. Children can be seated together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with siblings who are younger. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-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 if it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value. Single-to-Double Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children from different ages, and as triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a sleek design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric. This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and the carrycot. You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering the option of recline. This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, it can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard. This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets which are just sufficient to hold phones and keys. This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier. This versatile tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing the parent. It is a breeze to move around due to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
