Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly for families with children of various ages. They're typically simple to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and are best suited for children that can stand up without assistance since these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 double umbrella stroller, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who worry 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, making it smaller than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. It's 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 also makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

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

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof, though -when your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be best for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children with similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with distinct appeals. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have seats that can be reversible. Others have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to move into and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

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

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however they are more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in front. The children can sit and stand double stroller together. Some also have the option to add a buggy board, which can aid an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create a flat space for newborns. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). As they're made with quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of various age groups. It's a great option for parents who want a chic style that's as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved 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 capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a large amount. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other 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 that they are able to adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single to double buggy buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) a car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child, and includes an extra storage basket in between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and a large accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive feature set 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 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 drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is easy to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
