Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying ages. They're typically simple to steer, fold and carry up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for kids who can sit up unassisted since these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit n Stand double stroller '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're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are great for parents worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate another seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even take 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, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to carry even when stuffed with children.

double stroller for twins pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is best double stroller for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and some have reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-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 quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be a little slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in the front or the kids can be seated side-byside. Some of them also offer the option of adding buggy boards that can aid older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. 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 comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-double buggy from birth

This lightweight double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different age groups, and as triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options to recline the seats with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small double buggy curved path, this can still be a problem. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing needs. They often start out as single buggies, but come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40 lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder, and a large accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can stand on its own with straps to make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever method by which it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
