Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly when you have children of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down steps.

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

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit up without assistance, since they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are great for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to add an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It is also a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to convert it into a single and double stroller buggy or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It is a practical option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to use even when stuffed with children.

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

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to get in and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires 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 removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they could be more difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which can result in strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of adding a buggy board, which can aid older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin buggy-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without showing much wear, meaning they have high price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of various ages. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

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

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase additional 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. And there are plenty of options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat having a recline option.

This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally good at coping with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double stroller (avangardha.com) double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is easy to move around due to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
