Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create another seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight twin buggy double. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of maneuver, even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or stage they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides great value. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It is initially one, but you can add adapters to make it double. It can also have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Children can be seated together. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be positioned in a row or joined to one another and you can use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it very easy to master. Although it's heavier than the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a large amount. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 double buggy travel system and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps for easy transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll have to buy 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 simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
