Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children who can sit up on their own, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to allow for another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It offers additional flexibility due to the modular frame. Its clever design lets you to convert it into 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 that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to move around, even with a full load of kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It starts out as one, but you can add adapters to convert it into double. It can also include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that can help an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. These can be placed side by side or attached to each other's faces, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These dual-use buggies are made of quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that 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 very 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 the carrycot.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for reclining, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. They often start out as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted 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 we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were appreciated by the home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as a large accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier 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 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top choice 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 positions. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever method by which it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
