Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly when you have children of different ages. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and they're generally best for children who can sit up on their own, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are great for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 off road double buggy, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a good option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to handle even when stuffed with kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are at the same age or stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best twin buggy for children with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it 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". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to accelerate and are heavier to move, which can result in stress 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. These can include a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pushchair from birth pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat area for infants. They can be joined or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It is also a good choice for twins, or children from different age groups and as triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely simple to master. Although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclined seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, it can be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents, and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include a high-profile handlebar for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to maneuver due to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also admired that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
