The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. However they do have a few advantages. 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 huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to get in and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than those on single buggies.

It's not foldable with the carrycot attached however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. They can be attached together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible with the.

It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a problem. Some are easier to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

It is simple to maneuver due to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many.
