Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted since these models tend to lack car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to move into and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

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

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They typically start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.
