They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are at the same age or stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a great value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It starts out as a single but you can also add adapters to convert it into a double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of adding a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces, and you can use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, which means they have a high price resales.

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

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing needs of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.
