Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids with different age groups. 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 massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of light double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for kids who can sit up on their own, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about getting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create a second seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating 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 a great feature for those who want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a variety of fun colors. Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market. Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a compact 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, though -when your children are of the same age or stage they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother. Tandem While side-by-side models are best suitable for siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. Some can fit an extra car seat, while some have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to get in and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions. The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's “genius”. The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick. Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also 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 a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat area for infants. These can be placed side by side or attached to one another and you can use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with the highest resale value. Single-to-Double Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children from different age groups, and as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish style that's as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric. We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and a carrycot. The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options to recline the seats and the front seat is can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering an option to recline. The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry loads. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. Often, they start as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or wants to ride buggyboards. One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. Home testers appreciated its 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 comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have tiny pockets, which are only sufficient to hold the phone and a set of keys. This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat. This versatile tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. pushchairsandprams appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
