Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame the width to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

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

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands in width to allow for a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great for those who want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's also available in a variety of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move around even with a full load of kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or stage they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others have reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get in 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 padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight smallest double buggy (click through the next article) strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They may also be slightly slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which could put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It is initially one but you can also add adapters to make it double seat stroller. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or children can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can also use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without displaying much wear, indicating they have high potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish style that's as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

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

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family needs. They typically start as single buggies, but come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats ready to grow double stroller store things. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that are not big enough to accommodate anything more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, a 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 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only downside is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing the parent. It is easy to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever way that it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
