Which lightweight double pushchair (click the up coming site) Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight twin stroller double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different age groups. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second car seat and compatible car seat(s).

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 sit without assistance, since they lack car seat compatibility. That said 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 huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of maneuver even with a full load of kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights then it is possible that a tandem design is best double stroller for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and some have Reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides great value. The fabric is a bit less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models however they are more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It starts out as a single, but you can add adapters to make it double. They can include the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some of them also have the option to add a buggy board, which can aid an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin buggy-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces, and you can use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without displaying much wear, which means they have a the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is made for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely simple to master. 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 a carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are plenty of options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat having the option to recline.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry loads. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, this can be a problem. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing needs of families. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

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 an extra storage basket in between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient 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 a phone and a set of keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice 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 easy to move around due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
