Nine Things That Your Parent Taught You About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight double pushchair (Highly recommended Resource site) Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to move around, especially for families with children of various ages. They're typically simple 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, large UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can be pushed through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight twin stroller side-by-side double. It allows for even more customization thanks to a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to transform it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle even when stuffed with children.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights then it is possible that a tandem design is the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many have 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 fabric is a bit less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to speed up and can be heavier to move, which can cause strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which starts off as one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some also have the option of incorporating a buggy board, which could help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be positioned side by side or attached to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-double running buggy

This compact double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a great option for twins or children of different ages and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design that is as elegant as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it very easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are many options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a large amount. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 double buggy for twins and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of families. Often, they start as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are just large enough to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
