Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly when you have children of various age groups. They are generally easy to steer, fold and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows. It also comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best 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 choices. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to move around on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger which is great if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or 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 features a clever design that lets you convert it into a single stroller double or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to move, even with a full load of children.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still fight about who gets to sit in which position. If they are at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It is initially one but you can also add adapters to convert it into smallest double buggy. It can have an additional seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of adding 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 at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have high price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a single-handed system. Although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclined seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally able to cope with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry loads. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, it can be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible nipper double buggy pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This premium, lightweight double stroller - next page - side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
