Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair is easy to move around, especially when you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with an expanding frame width to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side on the market. It is able to pass through doors of standard size 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 carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. Its clever design lets you to transform it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families that are growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move around even with a full load of kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights then a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others come with Reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than those of single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which can result in strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible Double Stroller For Newborn Twins buggy which is initially a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good 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 attached together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing any wear, meaning they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-double pram and pushchair

This compact double infant strollers buggy is made for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good choice for twins, or children from different age groups and as triple tandem double stroller, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

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

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats and the front seat is can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat also having an option to recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by the home testers. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents, and a large accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have small pockets, that are just big enough to fit phones and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is simple to move around due to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including those that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
