Which Lightweight double running buggy Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for children that can sit up unassisted, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 double car seat stroller and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. These are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that can be expanded to add an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can be pushed through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger which is great 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 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

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

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs double aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are of the same age or stage they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have Reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. They often have larger canopy 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 fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side by side double stroller models. However, they may be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be a little slower to pick up speed 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 can add adapters that turn it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin buggy from birth pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned to one another, and you can use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). As they're made with quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children from different ages and, as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

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

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to perform well in coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, this can be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easily accessible basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets which 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 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps that 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 will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its extremely light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
