Which lightweight double pushchair (Https://sciencewiki.science/wiki/You_Will_Meet_With_The_Steve_Jobs_Of_The_Tandem_Double_Stroller_Industry) Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double car seat stroller pushchair, especially if you have kids with different ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and transport up and down the stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for children who can stand up without assistance since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to add another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. This means it can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers even more customization thanks to the 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 growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single off road double buggy with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to handle, even when fully loaded with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -when your children are of the same age or stage they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while others come with Reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to access and exit from however their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight twin stroller tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold. While it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however they are more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to accelerate and may be heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. Children can sit together. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be placed in a row or joined to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing much wear, meaning they have the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's a great option for parents who want a chic design that is as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double travel stroller pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a problem. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies and include adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the most lightweight double strollers double on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are just sufficient to hold the phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever method by which it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
