The Most Hilarious Complaints We ve Seen About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also comes with an expanding frame the width to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children who can sit up on their own because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 double travel buggy and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it fits through doors that are standard and is easy to move around on public transport. It is also a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to convert it into a double running stroller or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

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

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and others come with Reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to get in and out of the baskets, though they tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one parent cup holder and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which can cause stress on your back.

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

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pushchairs pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be positioned in a row or joined to face each other, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different age groups and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric.

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

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are many options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering an option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths however, it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family needs. Often, they start as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as an enormous, easily accessible basket. The backs have small pockets, which are just sufficient to hold phones and keys.

This high-end, lightweight double buggy side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only drawback is that you'll need buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. It is a breeze to move around due to its low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
