13 Things About Double Pushchair You May Not Have Known > 문의하기

Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly for families with children of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with an expanding frame the width to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for children who can sit up unassisted because they 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 adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add a second seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great for those who want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a variety of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 nipper double buggy, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. The clever design allows you to convert it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of move around, even with a full load of children.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from, although their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however they are 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 can cause stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double car seat stroller buggy which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can also include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Children can sit together. Some also have the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can aid an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin stroller with car seats pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned 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 an appropriate one). As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing much wear, indicating they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as All Terrain Double Stroller-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different ages and, as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek style that's as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it really simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. They are typically single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its extremely light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way that it can attach 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 seat from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggy converts to single buggies.
