Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly when you have children of various ages. They're generally easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also has an expanding frame size to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double running stroller pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate another seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great for those who want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a variety of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a 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 an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move around even with a load of children.

Although they're lightweight, double stroller with snack tray pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who gets to sit in which spot. If they're at different heights then a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suited to siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). As they're made with quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing much wear, indicating they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-double buggy with carrycot

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children of different ages and as triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to-cheap double stroller pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry loads. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be difficult. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double buggy side by side, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. They often start out as single buggies, but come with adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats for storage. 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 for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as an ample, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just large enough to hold phones and a set of keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, a compact fold that stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate 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 is accessible with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
