Where Is Double Pushchair 1 Year From Right Now

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of different age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also has a frame that expands in size to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, since they lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to allow for another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great for those who want to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you transform 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, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of maneuver even with a full load of children.

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

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to speed up and may be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of adding buggy boards that can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin buggy-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can also use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without displaying much wear, meaning they have high potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This light cheap double buggy buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek 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 very easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for recline and recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering a recline option.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are easier 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 fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40 pounds per child, and includes an extra storage basket in between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a 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 parents and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing the parent. Its extremely light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double pram pushchair buggies.
