Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double pushchair particularly if you have children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.

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 a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and they're generally best for children that can sit up unassisted because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great 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 provides even more customization thanks to the modular frame. The innovative design allows the conversion of an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to carry even when loaded with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who gets to ride in which seat. And if they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of similar ages, tandem double stroller lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides an excellent value. The fabric is a little 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 impressive. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded 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, however, they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to speed up and may be heavier to move, which could result in strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible Amazon Double Stroller 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 in front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design that is as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double stroller with car seat pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options to recline the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry loads. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier 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 are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They are typically single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child reaches the age of walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold nipper double buggy stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. Its lightweight twin buggy weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
