10 Meetups On Double Pushchair You Should Attend

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for kids who can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands in width to accommodate another child seat. This makes it lighter than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is a great feature if you want to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers even more customization thanks to a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of maneuver even with a full load of children.

Although they're light double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could put strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or children can be seated side-byside. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different ages, and as a triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a single-handed system. Although it's heavier than other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

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. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. And there are a variety of options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths however, it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing needs of families. They are typically single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 pounds per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have tiny pockets, which are just big enough to fit a phone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and a compact fold that stands up on its own with straps for easy transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position.  double tandem pushchair  (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
