Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?
It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different ages. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down stairs.
This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also has frames that can be expanded in the width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.
Side-by-Side
The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best twin stroller for children who can sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 double travel buggy, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.
The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature when you're planning to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.
Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.
If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double infant stroller or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver, even with a full load of kids.
Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem style might be better for them as it allows them to confront each other.
Tandem
While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows as well as a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of young children.
The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.
Tandem lightweight double buggy double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however they are more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They may also be slow to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.
A convertible double buggy is another option. It's initially one but you can also add adapters to convert it into double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider adding 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 pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These 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 was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing any wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.
Single-to-Double
For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children of different age groups, and as triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabrics.
We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's really simple to master. And although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.
You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline.
This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.
Convertible
Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of a family. They often start out as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.
This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an integrated storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent, and an enormous, easily accessible basket. They also noted that the backs have small pockets, that are just large enough to hold the phone and a set of keys.
This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can stand on its own with straps to make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.
This versatile tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as a few single and double stroller pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way that it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
