5 Laws That'll Help The Double Pushchair Industry
본문
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?
It's easy to move around in a lightweight double buggy from birth pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the stairs.
This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can be expanded to take 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 the best for children who can sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.
The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create a second seat, making it smaller than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side on the market. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.
Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative 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 is a practical option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the Lightest Double Stroller, sexiest and most stylish available.
If you're looking for a compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle, even when fully loaded with kids.
Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. If they're at different heights, the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.
Tandem
While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight have their own charms. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others come with Reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to move into and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for young children.
The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides great value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot can't be folded when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.
Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.
A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It starts out as a single but you can also add adapters to convert it into a double. These can include a second seat or carrycot in front or children can sit side-by-side. Some also have the option to add a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.
The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin strollers for newborns pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to face each other, and you can use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing any wear, which means they have a an excellent potential for resale.
Single-to-Double
This lightweight double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.
This iCandy model is easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers and carrying 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. There are numerous options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.
The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a lot. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest double buggy of curved paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also easier 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 ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.
One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are just large enough to hold a 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 two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch rear 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 a top choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
