The majority of the light double pushchairs double we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. However they do have a few advantages.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still fight about who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring.

However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they may be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It starts out as a single, but you can add adapters to make it a double. They can include a second seat, carrycot or both in front. Or the children can sit together. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-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. As they're made with quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without displaying much wear, which means they have a high resale value.

Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend sit N stand double stroller N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.
