Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, particularly if you have children of varying ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer 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+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also features a smart frame that can expand in width to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and are best suited for kids who can stand up without assistance because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint 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 a second child seat. double pram stroller makes it smaller than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It's also a jogger, which is great news for those who want to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a variety of fun colors. Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available. Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to handle, even when fully loaded with kids. Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however — if your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, then a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it lets them face each other. Tandem While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from, although their baskets are typically smaller than those on single buggies. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out and a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for young children. The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be “genius”. It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast. Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they may be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put strain on your back. Another option is a convertible double buggy, which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can also include the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. The children can be seated together. Some have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep pace with younger siblings or brothers. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be positioned side by side or attached to each other's faces, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing much wear, which means they have a an excellent potential for resale. Single-to-Double For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of various ages. double pram stroller 's also a great choice 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. This iCandy model is easy to fold using a one-handed system. Although it's 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 inside. The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for infants. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having an option to recline. The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance. Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. Often, they start as single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard. One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone and keys. This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension 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 rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This multi-functional tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
