Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

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 compatibility with car seats. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 double tandem pushchair and the Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create a second seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It allows for even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you're looking for a compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of move around even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be better for them, as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and some have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a great value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold - although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models however, they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slightly slower to accelerate and may be heavier to move, which could cause stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It starts out as one however, you can add adapters to convert it into a double pram buggy. It can also include the option of a second seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat area for infants. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned 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 select a compatible one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without showing much wear, indicating they have high price resales.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and is a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way 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 home tester Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

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

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally perform well in 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. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family needs. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder, and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are just big enough to fit a phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set 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 swing lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position. It is easy to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever way it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
