Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children with different age groups. They're typically simple 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 huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can expand in width to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and are best suited for children that 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 and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It provides additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you convert it into a single stroller double or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of move, even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or stage they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style may be best for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of the same age, tandem lightweight double stroller for twins strollers come with their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and some have Reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a great value. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. 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-byside models. However, they may be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It starts out as an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. It can also include a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. The children can sit together. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. 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 with the. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different age groups and as triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabrics.

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

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclined seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family requirements. They typically start as single buggies and include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each and features a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also has a convenient parent cup holder, and a large, easily accessible basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

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

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
