Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially if you have children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the 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 has a clever frame that can be expanded to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best compact double stroller for children who can stand up without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great news when you're planning to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat. It's also available in a variety of fun colors.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to turn it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you're looking for a compact lightweight double, try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to maneuver, even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -If your children are at the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others come with reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than those of single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchair double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however they are more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slow to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. These can include a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can be seated side-byside. Some of them also offer the option to add a buggy board, which could help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be placed side by side or attached to face each other and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose the right one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with 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 a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children from different ages and as triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold with a single-handed system. It's also heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. And there are many options for recline in the front, with the seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat offering a recline option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing requirements. They typically start as single buggies and come with adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering; front and rear 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 rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside 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 easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. It is simple 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 way, and the clever method by which it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
