15 Best Pinterest Boards To Pin On All Time About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly if you have children of various ages. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. 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've tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children that can sit up unassisted since these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to add another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning 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 allows for even more customization through a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to handle, even when fully loaded with children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are at the same age or stage they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others come with reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They may also be a little slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could cause stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible  double buggy , that starts out as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can also include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. The children can sit together. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. These can be placed side by side or attached to face each other and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children of different ages and as triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish design that is as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using a one-handed system. Although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They are typically single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each and features a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the 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 handy cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, which are just sufficient to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include 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 with handy 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 need buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is a breeze to move around due to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them 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 loved the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
