Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight cheap double pushchair pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for kids who can stand up without assistance since these models tend to lack car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about getting through doors.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use.

However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

This can include a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with siblings who are younger.

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way that it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
