A Look Into The Future How Will The Double Pushchair Industry Look Like In 10 Years?
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children that can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to add an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It is also a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It provides an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby makes one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of move around even with a load of children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still argue over who gets to sit in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which can cause stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. These can be placed side by side or attached to face each other and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children from different age groups and as a triple tandem, it's able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are plenty of options for reclining, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat offering a recline option.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier 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 ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of families. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just big enough to fit a phone and a set of keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes an additional 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 for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position. tandem double stroller (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way that it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
