Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly when you have children of different ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has an expanding frame width to accommodate a second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best double buggy for children who can sit n stand double stroller up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 double push chair, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on 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, that offers more customization with a modular frame. The clever 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 good option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and most stylish available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by 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, a tandem model could be better for them as it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers have their own appeal. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have Reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows, as well as one parent cup holder and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It's initially a single however, you can add adapters to make it double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in front. The children can share a seat. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can also use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different ages, and as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek style that's as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself 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 maneuverable even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can get a lot of storage. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 double push chair and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand best double strollers, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. Often, they start as single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

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

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them 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 admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
