Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to move around, especially for families with children of different 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, large UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also has frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double running buggy pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for children that can stand up without assistance, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a good option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

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

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however -when your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that is a great value. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is the one-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they can be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They may also be a little slower to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could result in strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy that starts out as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a stokke double stroller. They can include the option of a second hand double buggy seat, a carrycot or both in front. Or the children can share a seat. Some of them also offer the option of adding a buggy board, which could help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin stroller side by side-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

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

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having a reclining option.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to get through doorways and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers are generally good at coping with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are easier 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 ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of families. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
