Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over 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 windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame the width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and they're generally best for kids who can sit and stand double stroller up unassisted, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand double buggy travel system are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great news if you want to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It allows for even more customization thanks to a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to carry even when stuffed with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights then the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. Some can fit an extra car seat, while some have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism 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 challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which can result in strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It is initially an individual, but you can add adapters to make it double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that can help an older child keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. These can be placed side by side or attached to one another and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made of quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light 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 a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good choice for twins, or children from different age groups and, as triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a stylish design that is as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it really simple to master. It's also heavier than the other single-to-cheap double pushchair pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options to recline the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having an option to recline.

This type of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can have plenty 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 aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can be a problem. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of a family. They are typically single buggies, but come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient parent cup holder, and an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate 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 position. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way it can attach a second hand double Buggy seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those that don't normally fit into other double buggies.
