10 Meetups On Double Pushchair You Should Attend

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have children of varying age groups. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double buggy newborn pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great news for those who 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 offers an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. The clever 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 fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle even when stuffed with kids.

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still fight about who sits in which spot. And if they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with 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 tend to be more spacious and easier to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most compact double stroller impressive things about it is its one-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models however they are more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible small double buggy buggy is another alternative. It's initially an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into stokke double stroller. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards, which could help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin pushchair-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be joined or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible with the. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing much wear, indicating they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different ages and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are plenty of options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having the option to recline.

This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a large amount. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing requirements. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain, a compact fold that can be folded up with straps to make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever way that it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
