A Productive Rant About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly when you have children of various ages. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also has a frame that expands in size to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, as they tend to lack 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 great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It's also a jogger, which is a great feature for those who want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a good option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a load of kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof, though -when your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best for children of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others come with reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to get in and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those of 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 good-value lightweight tandem. 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 impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially one, but you can add adapters to convert it into double. This can include an additional seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can aid an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be attached together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option 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 great choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.


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

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclining the seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having an option to recline.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it tends to be wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in 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 but even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They typically start as single buggies and come with adapters to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. double pram and pushchair can carry up to 40 pounds per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents, and a large easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets that are just big enough to fit a phone and a set of keys.

Its impressive features include a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing the parent. It is a breeze to move around due to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands, including some which aren't usually fit into other double buggies.
