Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids with different age groups. 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, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand double pram buggy, are both excellent options. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double infant stroller, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to move around even with a load of children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still fight about who sits in which spot. If they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers have their own charms. Some can fit a larger car seat and others come with reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a an excellent value. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles but it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its 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 with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they can be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin stroller-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible with the. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing much wear, indicating they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different ages and as a triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's also heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can purchase additional items like 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 headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. They are typically single buggies, and include adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

One of the Lightest Double Stroller double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just sufficient to hold the phone and keys.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. Its lightweight double buggy weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever method by which it attaches a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
