Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down 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 expands widthways to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double stroller double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children who can sit up on their own since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. 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 large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great news if you want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to transform it into an individual or double pushchair with car seat buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move even with a full load of children.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who sits in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children with similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are larger and easy to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy 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 foldable with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

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

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a Twin Umbrella Stroller-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing any wear, which means they have a high resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight twin buggy double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who want a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of fabrics.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. It's also heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are a variety of options for reclined seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having an option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally good at coping with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry loads. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy 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 families. They are typically single buggies, and include adapters to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child, and includes an extra storage basket in between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, that are just sufficient to hold phones and a set of keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with an additional 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 that has straps that make it easy to schlep 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 a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
