Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it simple to move around, especially for families with children of different ages. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children that can stand up without assistance since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It is also a jogger which is great if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double Stroller with Bassinet. It provides even more customization thanks to a modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of an individual or double pushchair from birth buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a good option for families that are growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of move even with a load of kids.

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

Tandem

While side-byside models are more 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 even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. 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 without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they may be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slow to speed up and may be heavier to move, which could put strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a small double stroller. They can have an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. The children can sit together. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without showing any wear, meaning they have high potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger with the help of 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 from different ages and as a triple tandem, it's able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it extremely easy to master. Although it's heavier than the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline and recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a problem. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of families. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is easy to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
