Which lightweight double stroller Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair is easy to move around, especially if you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for kids who can stand up without assistance since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 double infant stroller and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add an additional seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. 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 carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

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

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still argue over who sits in which seat. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double stroller for twins strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can also have a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. The children can be seated together. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pushchair from birth pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing much wear, which means they have a high potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different age groups and as a triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish design that is as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's also heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclined seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having an option to recline.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that are not big enough to accommodate anything more than a phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and a compact fold that can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
