Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for kids who can stand up without assistance because they aren't equipped with car seat integration.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and some have reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of.

However, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

They typically start as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.
