11 Methods To Totally Defeat Your Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have children with different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for kids who can stand up without assistance since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands in width to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It's also a jogger, which is a great feature for those who want to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double pushchair sale by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby twin umbrella stroller stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double travel buggy, consider the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how sleek and simple it was to handle even when loaded with kids.

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

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to access and exit from the baskets, though they are usually smaller than those of single buggies. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier 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. It can also have a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some also have the option to add 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 umbrella stroller pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the twin pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without showing much wear, which means they have a high resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of different age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as elegant as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's really easy to master. And although it's heavier than the other Single And Double Stroller-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good 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 offering the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family needs. They are typically single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an enormous easy-to-access basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are just big enough to fit phones and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot.

The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. Its lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
