The Most Sour Advice We ve Ever Received On Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children with different ages. They are 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 and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double stroller for twins pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack car seat compatibility. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double Buggy For twins and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to add another child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great news when you're planning to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a variety of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double buggy newborn by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest double stroller, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

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

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them, as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight have their own charms. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others have reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is the one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They may also be slow to accelerate and are heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can also have the option of a second seat, a carrycot or both in the front. The children can share a seat. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different ages and as triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabrics.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are plenty of options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers double strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40 lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are just large enough to hold the phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever way it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
