Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children with different ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create an additional seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It can be pushed through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or a 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 loaded with kids.

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still argue over who sits in which spot. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others have reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to access and exit from the baskets, though they tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold - although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they could be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They may also be a little slower to speed up and are heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. It could include the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can share a seat. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up 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 stroller side by side pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are many options for reclined seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having an option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 double stroller with bassinet and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. They typically start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double umbrella stroller strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and a large, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second seat and 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 double Stroller for travel fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is easy to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
