11 Strategies To Refresh Your Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight double pram and pushchair Pushchair Should You Buy double Pushchairs?

A light double pushchair is easy to move around, especially if you have children of different age groups. They're typically simple to steer, fold and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame size to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for kids who can sit up on their own because they 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 have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

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

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to handle even when stuffed with kids.

Although they're light double pushchairs that sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still argue over who gets to sit in which position. If they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and some have seats that can be reversible. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. They can be attached together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have a high resale price.

Single-to-nipper double buggy

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins or children of different ages, and as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

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

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest double buggy of curved paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the thule double stroller Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double buggy with carrycot.

Convertible

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

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent 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 different configurations. It also comes with a second 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 for easy transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
