Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly if you have children of various ages. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, as they lack compatibility with car seats. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to add another child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of move even with a full load of kids.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still fight about who sits in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem double buggy style might be better for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pram and pushchair strollers have their own charms. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and some have reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides an excellent value. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however they are more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which could put strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, which is initially one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin strollers for newborns pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without showing much wear, meaning they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabrics.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. 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 perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, it can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. They often start out as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest Double Stroller double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspension for smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight double buggy side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
