Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also features a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It is also a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side by side double stroller, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most stylish and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for 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 either as a double or single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to maneuver, even with a full load of children.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be best for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own appeal. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others come with Reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of however their baskets are typically smaller than those of single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

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

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It is initially a single but you can also add adapters to convert it into a double. It can also include a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. The children can share a seat. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing much wear, meaning they have high potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of different ages. It's also a great choice for parents who want an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabrics.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a one-handed system. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are numerous options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering an option to recline.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. Often, they start as single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the Lightest double stroller double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to access basket. They also noted that the backs have tiny pockets, which are just large enough to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This high-end, lightweight twin stroller 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, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain, it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way it attaches a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
