Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially for families with children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down 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 an additional car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children that can sit up unassisted because they tend to lack car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. The clever design allows you to transform it into an individual or double infant stroller buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move even with a load of kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -when your children are the same age or stage they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it still 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's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, however they are more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slow to speed up and can be heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can include the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can share a seat. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards that can aid an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space 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. These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children of different ages and as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant 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 also heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for recline and recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, it can be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double buggy for twins pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family needs. They typically start as single buggies, but come with adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever method by which it can attach the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
