Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying age groups. They are 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 comes with a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are best suited for kids who can sit up on their own, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 double travel buggy and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature when you're planning to use it with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a variety of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double buggy with car seat that is lightweight. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

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

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are at the same age or stage they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models however, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It is initially a single however, you can add adapters to make it a double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in front or children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option to add buggy boards that can aid older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to one another, and you can use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing much wear, meaning they have high resale value.

Single-to-Double

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

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. Although it's heavier than other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are many options to recline the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having an option to recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, it can be a problem. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best lightweight double stroller thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing requirements. Often, they start as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each and features 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 appreciated by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets that are just big enough to fit the phone and a set of keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
