10 Signs To Watch For To Get A New Double Pushchair
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children with different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs.

strollers double strollers -by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame width to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended 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 the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are great for parents worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate another seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.


The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It provides even more customization thanks to a modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver, even with a full load of kids.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may still argue over who sits in which spot. If they're at different heights then a tandem style may be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although strollers double strollers takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they could be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It's initially an individual but you can also add adapters to convert it into a double. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to one another and you can also use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.

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, but our home test Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They often start out as single buggies and come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a smartphone 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. Its impressive features include a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is easy to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever way it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
