Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly if you have children of different age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also comes with an expanding frame the width to accommodate the second car seat or a second 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 stand up without assistance, since they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add an additional seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great news if you want to use it with an infant carrier or car seat. It's also available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double buggy converts to single is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for additional flexibility due to a modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and fashionable strollers you can find.

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

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -when your children are at the same age or stage they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, then a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others come with reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to speed up and may be heavier to move, which can cause stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a Double Buggy With Carrycot. This can include an additional seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep pace with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children of different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are numerous options to recline the seats and the front seat is can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry loads. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family needs. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each and features a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent as well as a large accessible, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are only large enough to hold phones and a set of keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. 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 with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
