Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children who can stand up without assistance since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 double running buggy and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. This means it fits through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great 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, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into 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 and the UPPAbaby is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single and double stroller double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to handle even when loaded with children.

Although they're light double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while others come with reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows, as well as one parent cup holder and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slightly slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which is initially a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in the front or the kids can be seated side-by-side. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be positioned in a row or joined to one another and you can also use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight cheap double buggy buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children from different ages and as triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as simple as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's very simple to master. It's also heavier than some of the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options to recline the seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 double Stroller With Bassinet or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features a large basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Its reversible seats mean that you can switch them around to face either direction, and the clever way it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including those that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
