10 Quick Tips About Double Pushchair
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said they do have a few advantages. 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 five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that can be expanded to add an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. twin pushchairs is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to use even when loaded with children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others have Reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to move into and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than those on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less expensive 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 its single-handed fold. While it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It can't be folded 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 on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slightly slower to accelerate and may be heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It starts out as one but you can also add adapters to make it a double. It can also include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. The children can be seated together. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without displaying much wear, which means they have a an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It is also a good choice for twins, or children from different age groups and as triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents who want an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it very simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclined seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having a reclining option.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing needs of a family. They are typically single buggies, but include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.


This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder, and a large easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just big enough to fit phones and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot.

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

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
