Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double pushchair particularly if you have children of varying ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.

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 a frame that expands in width to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for children who can sit up on their own since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create another seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great news if you want to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers around.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of move, even with a full load of children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still fight about who sits in which position. If they're at different heights, the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to access and exit from however 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 one parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a great value. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slightly slower to accelerate and are heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, which is initially one-person, but you can add adapters to make it into a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that can help an older child keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin buggy from birth-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be placed side by side double stroller by side or attached to one another and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without showing much wear, meaning they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children of different age groups and, as triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's very easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options for reclined seats and the front seat is can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering a reclining option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry loads. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a hassle. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double buggy converts to single; made a post,, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies, but include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child and has a storage basket between the seats. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. The backs have tiny pockets, that are just large enough to hold phones and keys.

This lightweight twin stroller, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can flip them 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 could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
