Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids with different age groups. They are generally easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with a frame that expands in the width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best double buggy for children who can sit up unassisted because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. 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 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 is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add another seat, making it smaller than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It can also be used as 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 variety of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle even when loaded with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out and a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models however, they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of adding buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. They can be attached together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible with the. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without showing much wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is 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 using the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different ages and as triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabrics.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's really easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it tends to be wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still get a lot of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry a lot. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, it can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also has a convenient parent cup holder as well as an ample easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, that are just sufficient to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes an additional seat and carrycot.

The only drawback is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
