Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double single pushchair pushchair particularly if you have children of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also has frames that can be expanded in the width to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It is able to pass through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is a great feature for those who want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a variety of exciting colors.

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's a clever design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to use, even when fully loaded with kids.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to move into and out of the baskets, though they tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models however they are more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slow to accelerate and are heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It is initially one however, you can add adapters to convert it into double. They can include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in front. Or the children can share a seat. Some of them also offer the option to add a buggy board, which can aid older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible. 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, meaning they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good choice 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 option for parents who want a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a single-handed system. And although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for recline in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can be a hassle. Some are easier to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single to double stroller buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also has an easy-to-use cup holder for parents and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and a compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. 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 appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including those which aren't usually fit into other double buggies.
