Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly when you have children of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and 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 N stand double stroller without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add another seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. 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.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to carry even when stuffed with children.

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still argue over who sits in which spot. If they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others come with seats that can be reversible. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to get in and out of however their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out and a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also a little slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It starts out as one however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. It can also include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Children can be seated together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

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 create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be positioned side by side or attached to face each other and you can also use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). As they're made with quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, which means they have a the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different ages and, as a triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a chic style that's as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's very easy to master. Although it's heavier than the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclined seats and the front seat is can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering an option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry loads. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of the family. They often start out as single buggies, but include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in some instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one 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 strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 pounds per child and comes with an extra storage basket in between the seats. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an ample, easily accessible basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are only large enough to hold a phone and a set of keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features 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 swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is easy to move around due to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way that it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some that don't normally fit into other double buggies.
