10 Double Pushchair Meetups You Should Attend

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to accommodate another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great when you're planning to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat, and comes in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. Its clever design lets 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 is a practical option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of move even with a full load of kids.

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that offers excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models however, they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be a little slower to speed up and are heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible cheap double stroller buggy that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can also include a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. Children can be seated together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller 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 types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without displaying much wear, which means they have a high resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a one-handed system. It's also heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

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

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than the side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. 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. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, it can be a problem. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has a convenient parent cup holder, and a large accessible, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small double buggy pockets which are only sufficient to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever way it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
