Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly if you have children of various ages. They're typically simple to steer, fold and carry up and down 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 has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for children that can sit up on their own since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to add another child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It is a practical option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the Lightest Double Stroller, most stylish and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to use, even when fully loaded with kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -when your children are at the same age or stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchair from birth pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It starts out as one but you can also add adapters to convert it into double. It can also have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can share a seat. Some also have the option of adding buggy boards that can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be positioned side by side or attached to face each other and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have a high resale price.

Single-to-double single pushchair

This lightweight double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using kits that include air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children of different ages and, as triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. It's also heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. And there are plenty of options for recline and recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than others 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 adapted to the changing needs of families. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just sufficient to hold phones and a set of keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carriage 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. It is easy to move around due to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way that it attaches a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
