Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double stroller pushchair especially if you have kids with different age groups. They're typically simple to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children who can stand up without assistance because they tend to lack car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to add another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2 which folds 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 sleek and simple it was to handle even when stuffed with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or stage they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to move into and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides great value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have 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 more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. These can include a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin pushchair from birth-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. These can be placed in a row or joined to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-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

This compact double stroller 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 by acquiring kits that include air-filled tires and all terrain double buggy-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children from different age groups, and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's really simple to master. It's also heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs (you could look here) in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are plenty of options for recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were appreciated by the home testers. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are only big enough to fit a phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and a compact fold that stands up on its own with straps for easy transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. 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 among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
