Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially if you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has an expanding frame the width to accommodate an additional 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. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to add an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature when you're planning to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

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

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who sits in which position. If they're different heights, 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 with similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own charms. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and some have Reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold. While it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slow to speed up and may be heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could have an additional seat, a carrycot or both in front. The children can sit together. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pushchair pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be attached together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing much wear, meaning they have high price resales.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different ages and as triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed 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 capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the thule double stroller Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40 pounds per child and has an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have small pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, a compact double buggy fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including those that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
