Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids with different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also features a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best twin stroller for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and 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're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents worried 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 slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

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

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to move into and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight double buggy and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

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

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Children can be seated together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. These can be placed side by side or attached to one another and you can also use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing any wear, indicating they have the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options to recline the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having the option of recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it tends to be wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can be a hassle. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. They are typically single buggies and include adapters to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent, and a large accessible, easily accessible 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 high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps to make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing the parent. It is simple to move around due to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from various brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
