It's easy to move around with the lightweight off road double buggy pushchair especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has an expanding frame size to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children that can sit up unassisted, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 double running buggy and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a full load of children.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which position. If they're at different heights, then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others come with Reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of however their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slow to accelerate and may be heavier to move, which could put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible nipper double buggy buggy, that starts out as one-person, but you can add adapters to make it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or children can be seated side-byside. 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 converted into a twin pushchairs-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-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 a great choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a single-handed system. And although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having the option of recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally good at coping with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry loads. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can be a hassle. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. They typically start as single buggies and include adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers double strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40 pounds per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps to make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever method by which it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
