14 Cartoons About Double Pushchair That'll Brighten Your Day

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly if you have children of various ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also comes with an expanding frame size to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried 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. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create an additional seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to move around on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and most stylish available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single double stroller double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to use, even when fully loaded with children.

Although they're lightweight cheap double stroller pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still argue over who sits in which seat. If they're at different heights then a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair double with their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to get in and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a great value. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slow to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It's initially an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. It can also have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some of them also offer the option of adding buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

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 area for infants. They can be placed in a row or joined to one another and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good option for parents who want a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's also 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.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are a variety of options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally able to cope with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can have plenty of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry loads. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 double buggy that converts to single and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best twin stroller thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing requirements. Often, they start as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double stroller (check these guys out) double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are just sufficient to hold phones and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain, a compact fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
