Three Reasons To Identify Why Your Double Pushchair Isn't Working (And How To Fix It)
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children of varying ages. They're typically simple to fold, steer, and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has 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 lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children that can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit '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. They are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to add an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to carry even when loaded with kids.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still fight about who sits in which spot. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suited to siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However their baskets 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 parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially an individual however, you can add adapters to convert it into a double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want 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, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabrics.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are plenty of options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that are not big enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes an additional seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can be folded up with straps for easy transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

double infant stroller is a top pick among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
