The 10 Scariest Things About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly when you have children of various ages. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also has frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate a second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 stokke double stroller, which offers even more customization through a 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 fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to handle even when loaded with kids.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may still argue over who gets to sit in which seat. If they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. Some can fit a larger car seat and some have reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they may be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double tandem pushchair buggy, that starts out as an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can have an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can aid older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be positioned in a row or joined to one another and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have a high resale price.

This light double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used 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 that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double buggy side by side, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents as well as a large accessible, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are just big enough to fit phones and keys.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is simple to move around due to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back.
