Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly when you have children of different age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down 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 peekaboo windows. It also comes with a frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for children that can sit up unassisted, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add another seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers even more customization thanks to a modular frame. The clever design allows you to convert it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you're looking for a compact lightweight double buggy that converts to single, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -when your children are the same age or stage they may still fight over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit an extra car seat, while some have reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to get in and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a an excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double running buggy. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These dual-use buggies are made from 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

This lightweight double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children of different ages and, as a triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who want a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. And 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.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller double like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are plenty of options for recline and recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still get a lot of storage. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a problem. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchair sale pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family requirements. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40lbs each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot.

Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever method by which it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including some that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
