Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair is easy to move around, especially if you have children of different age groups. They're typically simple to fold, steer and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a frame that expands in size to accommodate an additional 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 travel double stroller for kids who can stand up without assistance since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand double buggy converts to single are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It's also a jogger, which is great for those who want to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a good option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to maneuver, even with a full load of children.

Although they're light double pushchairs that sit side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still fight about who sits in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be better for them, as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a great value. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards, which could help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin stroller-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be placed side by side or attached to one another and you can also use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing any wear, meaning they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, 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 can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who want a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabrics.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely simple to master. Although it's heavier than other single-to-double running buggy pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclined seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having an option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can be a problem. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The home testers loved the spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some 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 infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
