15 Best Pinterest Boards Of All Time About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend sit and stand double stroller 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver 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 expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great if you want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into a cheap double pushchair or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move even with a full load of kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -when your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have Reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however they are more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It's initially a single but you can also add adapters to convert it into double. These can include a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair double by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other, and you can use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still get a lot of storage. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, it can be a problem. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double 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 include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a handy basket in between the seats to store things. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient parent cup holder and an enormous easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have tiny pockets, that are just big enough to fit a phone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can stand on its own with straps for easy transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever method by which it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
