10 Double Pushchair-Related Meetups You Should Attend

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children who can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to be lacking 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 large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It's also a jogger, which is great for those who want to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert 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 good option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to carry even when stuffed with kids.

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still argue over who gets to sit in which position. If they are at different heights, then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best travel double stroller suitable for siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight double stroller with bassinet strollers have distinct appeals. Some can fit a larger car seat and some have reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to move into and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of little ones.

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. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they can be harder 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 alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some of them also offer the option of adding a buggy board, which can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be positioned in a row or joined to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is made for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It can also withstand 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 just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

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

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclined seats with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering an option to recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, this can still be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand stokke double buggy sale stroller (carver-mckenzie.thoughtlanes.net).

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of families. They typically start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in some instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, which are just big enough to fit the phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular 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 simple to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
