This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children that can sit up unassisted because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. The thule double stroller Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to allow for a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great for those who want to use it with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and some have seats that can be reversible. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a great value. Its fabrics feel a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is very easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slow to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which can result in strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as one-person, but you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, indicating they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's also heavier than other single to double stroller-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. 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 offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a hassle. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. 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.
