Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly when you have children of different ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame the width to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and they're generally best for children who can sit up on their own since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate another seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

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

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. If they're at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while others come with Reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slightly slower to speed up and can be heavier to move, which could result in strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, which is initially one-person, but you can add adapters to make it into a double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can aid older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin umbrella stroller pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. These can be placed 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 is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller double, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins or children from different age groups and, as triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of fabrics.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down using a single-hand mechanism that's really simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are plenty of options for recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best double stroller thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family needs. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your child reaches the age of walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the Lightest double stroller double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. The backs have small pockets, which are only large enough to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and comes with two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which 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. The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way that it can attach the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
