14 Cartoons On Double Pushchair To Brighten Your Day

Which Lightweight double buggy side by side Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of different ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and transport up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and they're generally best for children that can sit up on their own, as these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, making it smaller than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. This means it can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature for those who want to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight Double Running Stroller is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. The innovative design allows the conversion of a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby makes one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move around even with a full load of kids.

Although they're light double pushchairs that sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. Some can fit an extra car seat, while some have reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to accelerate and are heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It is initially an individual, but you can add adapters to make it a double. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin buggy from birth pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. They can be positioned side by side or attached to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double pushchair with car seat buggy transforms into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of various age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's still very mobile 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 newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat having the option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest 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 up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of a family. They are typically single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child and has an extra storage basket in between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have small pockets, which are just big enough to fit phones 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. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, a compact fold that can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its extremely light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including those that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
