Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially if you have children of various ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best double strollers for children that can stand up without assistance, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 double pushchair with car seat and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to add a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of an individual or double buggy travel system buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to handle even when stuffed with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

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 fit carseats that are larger, and others come with reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to access and exit from however their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold - although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slightly slower to speed up and can be heavier to move, which could put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It's initially one, but you can add adapters to make it double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. 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 is a excellent example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat area for infants. They can be positioned side by side or attached to face each other and you can use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of different ages. It's a great option for parents who want a chic design as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with the use of a single hand. Although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

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

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double seat stroller strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40lbs each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has an easy-to-use 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 aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

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