The 10 Most Scariest Things About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight double pram buggy Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children with different ages. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the 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 lightweight double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and they're generally best for kids who can sit up on their own, as these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can be pushed through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great if you want to use it with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a variety of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It provides an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into a double or single 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 Double stroller, sexiest and most stylish available.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double pushchair from birth or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move around, even with a full load of kids.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still argue over who gets to sit in which position. If they are at different heights then a tandem style may be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from however their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight twin buggy tandem. The fabric is a bit 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 the one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not foldable without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they can be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can share a seat. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of various ages. It's a great choice for parents who want a chic design as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining the seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering an option to recline.

This type of buggy has 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 wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. Often, they start as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also has a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many have praised the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
