Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double infant strollers pushchair, especially if you have children of different age groups. They're typically simple to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs that 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 the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand double stroller sale, are both excellent choices. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create another seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature if you want to use it with a baby carrier or infant 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 additional flexibility due to the modular frame. Its clever design lets you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer 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 either as a double or single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to move around even with a full load of kids.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still argue over who sits in which position. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they could be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can also include a second seat, carrycot or both in front. Children can share a seat. Some also have the option of adding buggy boards, which could help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin stroller-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be attached together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing much wear, indicating they have the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of various ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek style that's as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely simple to master. Although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are many options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having a reclining option.

This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a lot. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, this can still 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.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the Lightest Double Stroller double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also has a convenient parent cup holder and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile 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 is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
