Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also has an expanding frame width to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to allow for another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great news if you want to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 small double buggy, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny 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 use, even when fully loaded with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are the same age or stage they may still fight over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and some have reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or 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. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models however, they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They may also be slightly slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which could result in stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. This can include an additional seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without showing much wear, meaning they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger with the help of an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as simple as a single to double pushchair. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. And although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a problem. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family requirements. They are typically single and double stroller buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an integrated storage basket between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever method by which it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
