The Most Hilarious Complaints We've Been Hearing About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly when you have children of various ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over 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 be expanded to accommodate a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said there are some exceptions. 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 large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add an additional seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature for those who want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of maneuver even with a load of children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who sits in which position. If they're at different heights, then a tandem style may be best for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight  double strollers  come with their own charms. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others have seats that can be reversible. Others even have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to get in and out of the baskets, though they tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. Many also feature more generously large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they can be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards that could help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be placed side by side or attached to one another and you can also use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). As they're made with quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing any wear, which means they have a an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children from different age groups and as a triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek design as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's very simple to master. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. And there are many options for reclining, with the front seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a lot. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to changing family needs. Often, they start as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40 pounds per child and has an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also has a convenient parent cup holder and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have small pockets that are not big enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Its reversible seats mean that you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
