Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double 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 massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also has a frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are best suited for children who can stand up without assistance, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

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 can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It offers even more customization thanks to a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single stroller or a Double pushchairs for Twins with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to carry even when stuffed with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs double aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. Some can fit an extra car seat, while some have reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to move into and out of, although their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides an excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially one but you can also add adapters to make it a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot or both in front. The children can be seated together. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair twin in the event that it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing any wear, meaning they have high price resales.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different ages. It's a great option for parents who want a chic style that's as simple as a single to double buggy. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely simple to master. And although it's heavier than the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to get through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold cheap double pushchair stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40 lbs per child and has an integrated storage basket between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have small pockets, which are only sufficient to hold a phone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and a compact fold that can stand on its own with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. Its lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including some which aren't usually fit into other double buggies.
