Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light nipper double buggy (reviews over at jejucordelia.com) pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially when you have children of various age groups. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat, which makes it lighter than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It can be pushed through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double pram stroller, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 that folds down to the size 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 loved how sleek and simple it was to use, even when fully loaded with children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

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

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It is initially an individual however, you can add adapters to make it a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards that could help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pushchair pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing much wear, meaning they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children of different age groups and, as triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a one-handed system. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat having the option of recline.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than the side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers double aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have small double stroller pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include 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 that has straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is simple to maneuver due to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever method by which it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some which aren't usually fit into other double buggies.
