Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children of varying ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to take a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. However they do have a few advantages. 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 large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great if you want to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It provides an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to convert it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option 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 and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to carry even when stuffed with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are of the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others have Reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to access and exit from the baskets, though they are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, but it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slow to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which can result in strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can aid older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pushchairs pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose the right one). These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different age groups and, as triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using the use of a single hand. And although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of families. They are typically single buggies, but come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage.

It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and an enormous easy-to-access basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets which are only big enough to fit phones and keys.
