14 Cartoons On Double Pushchair That Will Brighten Your Day

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly when you have children of different ages. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also features 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 lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for children who can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can be pushed through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle, even when fully loaded with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem double buggy design might be better for them as it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double buggy double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, 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. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pram and pushchair strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they may be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It's initially one but you can also add adapters to make it double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin strollers for newborns-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can also use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). As they're made with quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing any wear, which means they have a an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as All terrain double buggy-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different age groups. It's a great option for parents who want a chic style that's as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can get a lot of storage. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of families. They often start out as single buggies, but come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats to store things. Home users loved its 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 comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have small pockets, that are just large enough to hold the phone 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 handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
