Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly if you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry 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 comes with frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 double infant strollers and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint, and are ideal 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 most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it fits through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

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

Try the egg2 that folds 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 loaded with kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, then the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight have their own charms. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while some have reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides great value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, which is initially one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could have a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin buggy from birth pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing any wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different ages and, as triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's very simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are plenty of options for reclining, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat having a recline option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to get 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 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 adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of a family. They typically start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child and has a storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspension for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also has a convenient parent cup holder as well as a large accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have tiny pockets, that are just big enough to fit the phone and a set of keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way it can attach the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double push chair buggies.
