Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of different age groups. They're typically simple to fold, steer, and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies 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 the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can stand up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to add a second child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great for those who want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you transform it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double stroller with car seat by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. 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 of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, then the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother.

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others have seats that can be reversible. Others even have an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to speed up and can be heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin strollers for newborns-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be placed in a row or joined to one another and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (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 a long time without showing any wear, indicating they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-double infant stroller

This compact double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors 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 is also a good option for twins or children from different ages, and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are a variety of options to recline the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a large amount. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, this can be a hassle. Some are easier 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 can adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in some instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs 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 a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as a large, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone 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. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many have praised the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
