Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly when you have children of different 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 with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best double buggy for children that can stand up without assistance since these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to accommodate another child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature for those who want to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. The clever 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 fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle, even when fully loaded with kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "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 pushchairs that are lightweight twin stroller generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models but they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to speed up and may be heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double infant strollers. This can include an additional seat or carrycot in front or children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be joined or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-double pushchair from birth

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's a great choice for parents who want a stylish design as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a one-handed system. 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 when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. And there are plenty of options for reclining and recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a large amount. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of families. They often start out as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40 pounds per child and has an extra storage basket in between the seats. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets that are just sufficient to hold a phone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain, it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever way it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
