Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly for families with children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also has a clever frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add another seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great news if you want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for even more customization thanks to a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, 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 home testers were amazed by the ease of move, even with a full load of children.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still argue over who gets to sit in which position. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to move into and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than those on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides an 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. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models, however they are more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to make it a double. They can include the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some also have the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can aid an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a Leila 1+1 Hauck Roadster Duo SLX - Twin Chair for Twins - Ultimate Comfort and Convenience Pushchair: Lightweight Tandem Stroller for Twins (www.pushchairsandprams.uk)-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be placed side by side or attached to each other's faces, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose the right one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a one-handed system. Although it's heavier than some of the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers 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 to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small double stroller pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes an additional seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain, it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top pick from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position. Its extremely light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
