10 Double Pushchair-Related Meetups You Should Attend

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly if you have children of various ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.

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 peekaboo windows. It also comes with a frame that expands in the width to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the Best Travel Double Stroller for children who can stand up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint, and are ideal for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It is also a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and most stylish available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small double buggy suitcase. It can be used as a single or stokke double stroller with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to use, even when fully loaded with children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still argue over who sits in which position. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out and a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is the one-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they can be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also slow to speed up and are heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

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

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be attached together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible with the. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without displaying much wear, which means they have a an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children from different ages, and as triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a chic design that is as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's also heavier than the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

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

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the thule double stroller Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies, but include adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. 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 suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position. It is simple to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
