It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).
Side-by-Side
The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and are best double strollers suited for children that can sit up unassisted since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and 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 five-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about getting through doors.
The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add an additional seat, which makes it lighter than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great news for those who want to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.
Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. The clever design allows you to convert it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and most stylish available.
Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to carry even when stuffed with children.
Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. And if they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it will allow them to face each other.
Tandem
While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.
The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides excellent value. The fabrics are a little 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 awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it “genius”. It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.
Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they could be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slow to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.
A convertible double buggy is a different option. It is initially one however, you can add adapters to make it a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with younger siblings or brothers.
The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin pushchair from birth-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible with the. As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, which means they have a the highest potential for resale.
Single-to-Double
This compact best double strollers buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins or children from different ages, and as a triple tandem, it's able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.
This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and the carrycot.
You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat having an option to recline.
The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.
Convertible
The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing needs. They typically start as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.
