Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have kids of varying ages. They're typically simple 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 windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame size to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children who can sit up unassisted since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to add another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to turn it into a single stroller or a double stroller by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double stroller for twins, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small double buggy suitcase. It can be used as a single or a 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 use even when loaded with kids.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still argue over who gets to sit in which seat. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from the baskets, though they are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slightly slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized Stroller double by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be placed side by side or attached to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who are looking to upgrade from an individual-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 option for twins, or children from different ages and, as triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using the use of a single hand. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options to recline the seats with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat also having a reclining option.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to get through doorways and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be difficult. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 double stroller for twins and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. They typically start as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, which are just sufficient to hold phones and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing the parent. It is easy to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever way it attaches a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
