Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children with different age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for kids who can stand up without assistance because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

If you're looking for a compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of maneuver even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or stage they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem model could be better for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from, although their baskets are typically smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

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

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that can help an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. These can be placed side by side or attached to one another and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without showing much wear, meaning they have the highest price resales.

single to double buggy-to-Double

This lightweight 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 with the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabrics.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are plenty of options for recline in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a hassle. 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 benefit of convertible double buggy that converts to single pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing needs. They typically start as single buggies and come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child, and includes an extra storage basket in between the seats. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way that it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
