Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight off road double buggy pushchair, particularly if you have children of varying age groups. 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 and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also has a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for kids who can sit up on their own, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The thule double stroller Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It's also a jogger, which is great news when you're planning to use it with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for even more customization thanks to a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to carry even when loaded with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -when your children are of the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem double buggy lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides excellent value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold - although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models however, they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can be seated side-byside. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards that can aid older children 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 side by side or attached to each other's faces, and you can use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). As they're made with quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing any wear, indicating they have the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic style that's as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

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

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry loads. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can still be a hassle. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchair with car seat pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing needs of families. They typically start as single buggies, but come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have tiny pockets, which are only large enough to hold phones and a set of keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping 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 multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it attaches a second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from various brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
