Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 double travel stroller and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. The clever design allows you to transform it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase.

Even though they are lightweight, double Buggy Converts to Single pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which position. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to get in and out of the baskets, though they tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it 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 has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slow to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to make it double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in front or children can be seated side-byside.

They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing much wear, indicating they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy travel system buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension.

It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up with just one hand, making it really easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double jogging stroller pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for infants. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are many options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having an option to recline.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry loads. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend sit and stand double stroller N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies and include adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 pounds per child and comes with an extra storage basket in between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents, and an ample easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
