Which Lightweight nipper double buggy Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, especially if you have children with different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit and stand double stroller up without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. However, 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 wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. 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. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to turn it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to move around even with a full load of children.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof however -- if your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it lets them look at 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. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious 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 single-handed fold. Although it does require 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 removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they could be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double pram stroller buggy, which starts off as a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can also have a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards that can aid older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat area for infants. They can be placed side by side or attached to face each other, and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children from different age groups and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using the use of a single hand. And although it's heavier than some of the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are a variety of options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 double stroller with infant car seat or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double seat stroller pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of families. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) a 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 buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child and has a storage basket between the seats. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large accessible, easily accessible basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets that are just large enough to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive feature set 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 wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
