The 10 Most Scariest Things About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children with different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the steps.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add another seat, which makes it lighter than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side on the market. It is able to fit through doors that are standard 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 baby carrier.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight cheap double stroller, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to move even with a full load of 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. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best for children of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and easy to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. The children can sit together. Some of them also offer the option to add buggy boards, which could help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be placed in a row or joined to each other's faces and you can also use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double stroller sale buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller double. It can be transformed into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children from different ages, and as a triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. And there are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having the option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry loads. It's a bit easier to turn 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

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies, but include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) a 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 a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller double is among of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder and an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps for easy transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. It is a breeze to move around due to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way that it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
