Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly if you have children of various ages. They're generally easy to fold, steer and carry 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 an expanding frame width to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most 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 tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add another seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It provides additional flexibility due to a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It is a practical option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single stokke double stroller 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 fully loaded with kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who gets to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are larger and easy to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double stroller double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they may be more difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It starts out as an individual but you can also add adapters to make it double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, meaning they have high potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins or children from different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a chic style that's as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. It's also heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclining, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat having the option to recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers double aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies, but include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspension for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have small double stroller pockets, that are just sufficient to hold the phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain and a compact fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is simple to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either direction, and the clever way it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including some that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
