Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair particularly if you have children with different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children who can sit up on their own since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 off road double buggy, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create another seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest double stroller, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle, even when fully loaded with children.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still argue over who gets to sit in which spot. If they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out and a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is the one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They usually make tighter turning than side by side double stroller-by-side models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slow to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which could help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing much wear, indicating they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

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

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are plenty of options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They typically start as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets that are just sufficient to hold a phone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can be folded up with straps for easy transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way that it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
