Which Lightweight double single pushchair Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of various age groups. They're typically simple to fold, steer, and transport up and down the stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for kids who can stand up without assistance, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and 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 are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to accommodate another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It provides additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a good option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to handle even when stuffed with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs; just click the next document, aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are of the same age or stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. 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 more suitable for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides great value. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it without 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-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can also have an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing much wear, which means they have a an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double pram and pushchair buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using a one-handed system. Although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. And there are plenty of options for recline in the front, with the seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can have plenty of storage. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. 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 other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient parent cup holder as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps for easy transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way that it can attach an additional 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 seat from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
