Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of different ages. They're generally easy 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 features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that can be expanded to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children who can stand up without assistance since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands in width to add another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. 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 great if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to handle, even when fully loaded with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -If your children are of the same age or stage they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many have larger canopies, 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 expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "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 pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to accelerate and may be heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It starts out as a single double stroller however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in the front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some also have the option of incorporating a buggy board, which could help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat area for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to face each other, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose the right one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different age groups and as a triple tandem, it's able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's very simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-nipper double buggy pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it tends to be wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child, and includes an extra storage basket in between the seats. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by the home testers. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and a large accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 models. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. It is easy to move around due to its light weight (about the weight of a few single to double pushchair pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around 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 admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
