Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly if you have children of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also has an expanding frame size to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best twin buggy for children who can sit up unassisted, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands in width to allow for another child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It offers additional flexibility due to a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single to double buggy double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to carry, even when fully loaded with children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who sits in which position. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others come with reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those 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 young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slow to speed up and may be heavier to move, which 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 kids can be seated side-by-side. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin buggy from birth pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These dual-use buggies are made of high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double tandem pushchair buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different ages and as triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a stylish design that is as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a one-handed system. And although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally perform well in coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, this can still be a challenge. 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 instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of a family. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest Double stroller double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are only sufficient to hold a phone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps for easy transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is easy to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way that it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
