Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, particularly if you have children of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the steps. This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a frame that expands in width to accommodate a second car seat or a second passenger. Side-by-Side Most of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit up without assistance, since they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. 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 wide canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doorways. The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to accommodate another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It allows for even more customization thanks to the modular frame.

Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move even with a load of children. Although they're lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. And if they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it will allow them to confront each other. Tandem While side-by-side models are best suitable for siblings of similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own charms. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while others have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to get in and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of young children. The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is easy to use.

Children can be seated together. Some of them 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 great example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat area for infants. These can be placed side by side or attached to one another, and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without showing any wear, meaning they have the highest resale value.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs.

Convertible Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of the family.
