Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also has an expanding frame size to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, making it smaller than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side on the market. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great news for those who want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a variety of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It offers even more customization thanks to a modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest double stroller and stylish umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to maneuver, even with a full load of children.

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

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have Reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

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

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which is initially a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing much wear, which means they have a the highest price resales.

single to double stroller-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different ages and as triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a chic style that's as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's very simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's still very mobile even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are numerous options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having an option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can still be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller sale, for example.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in certain instances) the car 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 most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have tiny pockets, that are just big enough to fit the phone and a set of keys.

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

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever way it can attach the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
