Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also has frames that can be expanded in the width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for kids who can sit up on their own because they tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create a second seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great news for those who want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

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. The clever design allows you to transform it into an individual or double stroller for twins buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to move around, even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -when your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them as it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to access and exit from the baskets, though they are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to speed up and can be heavier to move, which can cause stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It starts out as a single but you can also add adapters to make it a double. It could have an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. The children can share a seat. 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 since it can be converted into a best twin buggy pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-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 infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children of different ages and, as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a sleek design that is as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using the use of a single hand. And although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double to single buggy pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options for reclined seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are only big enough to fit a phone and a set of keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps for easy transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to 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 can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is simple to move around due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever method by which it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those that don't normally fit into other double buggies.
