Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly when you have children of different age groups. They are 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 features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can be expanded to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and they're generally best for kids who can stand up without assistance, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create another seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. This means it can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a good option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver even with a load of kids.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. If they're at different heights then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many also feature more generously large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides an excellent value. Its fabrics feel 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. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they may be harder to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be a little slower to accelerate and may be heavier to move, which can cause stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some of them also offer the option of adding buggy boards that can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing any wear, meaning they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek style that's as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's really easy to master. And although it's heavier than the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. And there are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult ready to grow double stroller navigate through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double Pushchairs And Prams are fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The large 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 testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets that are just big enough to fit a phone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. It is simple to maneuver due to its low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
