Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children that can sit up on their own since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend sit and stand double stroller 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great for those who want 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 fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to move even with a full load of kids.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who sits in which spot. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have seats that can be reversible. Others even have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to get in and out of, although their baskets are typically smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for young children.

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 easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they could be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to make it double. They can include a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some also have the option of adding buggy boards that could help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other and you can also use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

This Lightweight Double Stroller double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different age groups and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good 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 kind of buggy has the greatest 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 between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can get a lot of storage. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 nipper double buggy or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and a compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is simple to maneuver due to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever way that it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
