Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate a second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double buggy with carrycot pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children who can sit up unassisted because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double buggy newborn. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a good option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most fashionable and most stylish available.

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

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from, although their baskets are typically smaller than those on single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight nipper double buggy strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they may be harder to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy converts to single buggy which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Children can sit together. Some of them also offer the option to add buggy boards, which can help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin pushchair from birth-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other and you can also use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing much wear, indicating they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish style that's as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a single-handed system. 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 with the parent facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are a variety of options for reclining, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being 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. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, it can be a hassle. Some are easier to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family needs. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an integrated storage basket between the seats. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent, and an enormous, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive set of features 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 that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including those that don't normally fit into other double buggies.
