Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of various age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also has a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for kids who can stand up without assistance because they tend to lack car seat integration. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 double travel buggy and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. The clever design allows you to transform it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a load of kids.

Although they're light double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still argue over who gets to sit in which position. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them, as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slow to speed up and may be heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can have an additional seat, a carrycot or both in front. Or the children can share a seat. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat area for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to one another and you can use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without displaying much wear, indicating they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children from different age groups and as triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very mobile even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry loads. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can still 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 ideal because they can be adapted to the changing needs of families. They often start out as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the most Lightweight Double Stroller double buggy that converts to single strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds 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 suspension for smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, which are only sufficient to hold a phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top pick 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 low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
