Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate a second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double stroller for twins pushchairs double that we test are side-byside models and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted because they 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 adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs double that are side-by-side. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature if you want to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a variety of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for additional flexibility due to a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to carry, even when fully loaded with kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are at the same age or stage they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, then the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models however they are more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating a buggy board, which could help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem double buggy triple that is ideal for twins or children of various age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with the use of a single hand. And although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a problem. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent as well as a large easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features 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 with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need 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 basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to maneuver due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
