It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair particularly if you have children with different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also has frames that can be expanded in the width to accommodate a second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit and stand double stroller - www.mazafakas.com - up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add another seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great news if you want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a variety of exciting colors.

It features a clever design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double stroller with car seat by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a good option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs 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 position. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold - although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

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

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be placed in a row or joined to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made of quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension.

It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having the option to recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) the car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats.

It is easy to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
