Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have children of varying ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children that can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to allow for another child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles 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 great side-by-side, lightweight double. It provides an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small 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 the ease of move even with a load of kids.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which position. If they're at different heights, a tandem style may be ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best twin buggy suited to siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others come with reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than those of single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to speed up and are heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It is initially a single but you can also add adapters to convert it into double. These can include a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. They can be attached together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible with the. As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing much wear, indicating they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms 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 it's a tandem triple that, is perfect for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using the use of a single hand. Although it's heavier than other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options for reclining the seats and the front seat is can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of families. They are typically single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets which are just big enough to fit the phone and a set of keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep 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 pick of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to move around due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including those that aren't typically fit into other Double seat stroller buggies.
