Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair (glamorouslengths.com), especially if you have kids of varying ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer, and transport up and down the 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 windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to accommodate another child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a variety of exciting colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double pushchair from birth, which allows for even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers double available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -- if your children are of the same age or stage they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and some have reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or convertible seat 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 have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold. While it does require 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 easy and quick.

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

Another option is a convertible double travel buggy buggy which is initially one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. They can include the option of a second seat, a carrycot or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some also have the option of adding a buggy board, which could help an older child 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 open space for infants. They can be positioned side by side by side double stroller or attached to one another, and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without showing any wear, which means they have a the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabrics.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's really easy to master. It's also heavier than some of the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry loads. It's 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 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 pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) a car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspension for smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also has a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't big 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 different configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is simple to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
