Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of various ages. 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 has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also features a smart frame that can be expanded to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double stroller pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair double (Suggested Site) is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can be pushed through standard doors and is easy to move around on public transport. It is also a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another great 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 transform it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move even with a full load of kids.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who sits in which position. And if they're at different heights, a tandem style might be better for them as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have Reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also a little slower to speed up and may be heavier to move, which can cause strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which is initially a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot or both in front. Children can be seated together. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin pushchair from birth-sized twin stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be positioned in a row or joined to face each other and you can also use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing much wear, indicating they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's a great option for parents who want a sleek design that is as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for recline and recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering a recline option.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a large amount. It's easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of families. They are typically single double stroller buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent as well as a large, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes an additional seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth 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 inches back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its lightweight weight (about the same as some 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 method by which it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
