16 Facebook Pages You Must Follow For Double Pushchair Marketers
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?
It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have kids of different ages. They're typically simple to fold, steer, and transport up and down stairs.
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 comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).
Side-by-Side
The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors.
The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create a second seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.
Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to transform it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.
If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to use even when loaded with children.
Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -If your children are of the same age or stage they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.
Tandem
While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.
The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.
Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they could be more difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.
A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It starts out as one however, you can add adapters to make it a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some of them also offer the option to add buggy boards that can help older children keep up with younger siblings.
The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be placed side by side or attached to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing much wear, which means they have a an excellent resale value.
Single-to-Double
Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different age groups, and as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.
This iCandy model is very easy to fold with a single-handed system. And although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.
The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. And there are a variety of options for reclining, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.
The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can get a lot of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.
Convertible
Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of a family. They often start out as single buggies, but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.
This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40 lbs per child and has a storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.
This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include a high-profile handlebar for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.
This multi-functional tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
