Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer and carry up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are best suited for children that can sit up unassisted because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to add a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers additional flexibility due to a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby makes one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to handle even when loaded with children.

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

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have Reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to move into and out of however their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double stroller with car seat pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, however they are more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as one-person, but you can add adapters to make it into a double. They can include a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. The children can share a seat. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that can help an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin stroller with car seats-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be placed in a row or joined to each other's faces and you can also use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-double push chair

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different ages, and as a triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds up with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and the 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 great for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. And there are plenty of options for reclining in the front, with the seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat having the option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to perform well in coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a large amount. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, this can still be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. Often, they start as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40 pounds per child, and includes an extra storage basket in between the seats. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are just big enough to fit a phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain, a compact fold that can stand 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 an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. Its light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
