Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly if you have children of different age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It is also an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double pushchair from birth with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how sleek and simple it was to handle even when stuffed with children.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, then the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best for children of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others come with reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models but they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which can result in strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It starts out as a single, but you can add adapters to make it double. It can also have an additional seat, a carrycot or both in front. The children can share a seat. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double pram stroller buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different ages. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single to Double Buggy and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. Often, they start as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have pockets that are not big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can be folded up with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit into other double buggies.
