Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have children of different ages. They're typically simple to fold, steer, and transport up and down the stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, as they lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to allow for a second child seat. This makes it smaller 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 a great feature for those who want to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double stroller with bassinet. It offers even more customization thanks to a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a great option for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to use, even when fully loaded with children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are of the same age or stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're 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 are best for children of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be a little slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It starts out as a single but you can also add adapters to convert it into double stroller for twins. It can also include the option of a second seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pushchair pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different age groups, and as triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish design as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

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

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can buy add-ons 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. There are numerous options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. 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 do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing needs of families. They typically start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) the 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 buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller double can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 pounds per child, and includes 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 an easy-to-use cup holder for parents as well as a large, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have pockets that are not big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way that it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
