Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down steps.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children who can stand up without assistance since these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to convert it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to use even when loaded with kids.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. If they are at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than those on single buggies. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out and a cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, howevt-double-buggy-dispelled">double Buggy with carrycot buggy can be converted 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 a triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a chic style that's as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's really simple to master. And although it's heavier than the other single-to-double buggy with car seat pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

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 and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, it can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 double buggy sale or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40 pounds per child and has an integrated storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent, and a large accessible, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are just big enough to fit the phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing the parent. It is easy to maneuver due to its low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever way that it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
