Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly if you have children of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame the width to accommodate an additional car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It is a practical option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

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

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have seats that can be reversible. Others have an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out and a cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles but it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight twin stroller. They generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also a little slower to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which could result in strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a best double strollers. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without displaying much wear, which means they have a the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different ages. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat having a recline option.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can have plenty of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a lot. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family needs. Often, they start as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-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 buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents as well as an ample easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have tiny pockets, which are just big enough to fit phones and a set of 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 high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional 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 is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is simple to maneuver due to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever method by which it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double pushchair from birth buggies.
