The Worst Advice We've Heard About Double Pushchair
본문
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?
It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children of different age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and carry up and down the 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 has an expanding frame the width to accommodate an additional car seat or an additional passenger.
Side-by-Side
The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children that can sit up unassisted since these models tend to lack car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the 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 footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.
The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands in width to allow for a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.
Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double Running Stroller, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most stylish and stylish strollers available.
If you're looking for a compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to maneuver, even with a full load of children.
Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still argue over who gets to sit in which spot. If they're at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is best for them, as it lets them face each other.
Tandem
While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found 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. Its fabrics feel a little less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's 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, however, they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.
Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double stroller with bassinet. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which could help older children keep up with a younger sibling.
The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be attached together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.
Single-to-Double
Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children from different ages, and as triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.
We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up with just one hand, making it extremely easy to master. And although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.
You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline and recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat offering a recline option.
This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally perform well in coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.
Convertible
The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.
This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys.
This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better 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 back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.
This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either way, and the clever way that it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
