Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. 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 large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create another seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market.

It's also available in a variety of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of maneuver, even with a full load of kids.

Although they're light double pushchair with car seat pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still argue over who gets to sit in which spot. If they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers have their own charms. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while others come with reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. They also have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires 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 taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slow to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can cause strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a cheap double pushchair. This can include a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards that can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces, and you can use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without showing any wear, which means they have a the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all terrain double buggy-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different age groups, and as triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic style that's as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally able to cope with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can get a lot of storage. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 double pram stroller or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of a family. Often, they start as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

It is simple to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back.
