Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it easy to get around, particularly if you have children of various age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create another seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It can be pushed through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It is also a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a good option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to carry even when loaded with children.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still argue over who sits in which spot. If they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem double stroller design might be better for them, as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best for children of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and easy to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It is initially one however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. It can have a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy was designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all terrain double buggy-wheel-suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children of different age groups, and as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design that is as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's also heavier than some of 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.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, it can be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. Home testers appreciated its large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps for easy transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way that it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from various brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
