Three Reasons To Identify Why Your Double Pushchair Isn't Performing (And How To Fix It)

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame the width to accommodate a second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack car seat compatibility. However, the 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 huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to allow for another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a great value. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It's initially a single, but you can add adapters to make it a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests.

This type of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 double single pushchair or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

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 have adapters that allow you to include a second hand double buggy child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

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 method by which it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many.
