Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport 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 peekaboo windows. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate a second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double tandem pushchair pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for children that 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 come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -when your children are at the same age or stage they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, a tandem style may be the best compact double stroller option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. 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, although their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold - although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

This can include a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can be seated side-by-side.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing any wear, meaning they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension.

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

However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can still be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand best travel double stroller, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of a family. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an integrated storage basket between the seats.

It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs).
