Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, particularly if you have children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down 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 windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double buggy for twins pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy ready to grow double stroller maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger which is great if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for additional flexibility due to a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the Lightest Double Stroller, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move around even with a full load of kids.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which position. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be better for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They may also be slow to speed up and can be heavier to move, which could result in strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It's initially one but you can also add adapters to make it a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot or both in front. The children can share a seat. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned to one another and you can use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is made 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 great choice for twins, or children from different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold with a single-handed system. Although it's heavier than other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering an option to recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it tends to be wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry loads. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a hassle. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They typically start as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek 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. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have small pockets, which are only sufficient to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. Its lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
