10 Meetups About Double Pushchair You Should Attend

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have kids of varying ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can expand in width to take a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double stroller for twins pushchairs we test are side-byside models and they're generally best for children who can sit up on their own, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand double Seat Stroller are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a good option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and stylish strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double buggy side by side with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to carry even when loaded with kids.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still argue over who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which could put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. The children can sit together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin stroller pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. They can be placed side by side or attached to face each other, and you can use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair twin (as long as you choose the right one). As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing much wear, meaning they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double stroller with bassinet buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as 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 also a good option for parents who want an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options to recline the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having a reclining option.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family requirements. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and a large, easily accessible basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just big enough to fit the phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is a breeze to move around due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
