Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A light double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly when you have children of different 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 has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to take a second seat and a compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about getting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier. Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins).

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which spot. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother. Tandem While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs that are lightweight offer their own perks. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others have reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to move into and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for young children. The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as “genius”. It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back. A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It is initially a single, but you can add adapters to make it a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. The children can be seated together.

They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces, 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 buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have a high resale price. Single-to-Double Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children of different age groups and as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. double pushchair sale pushchairsandprams 's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabrics. We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's very simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot. The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options to recline the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having the option of recline. The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example. Convertible The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing requirements. Often, they start as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board. One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just big enough to fit the phone and keys. This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot.

The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This versatile tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many have praised the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
