Which Lightweight double pram stroller Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with the lightweight double pushchair particularly if you have children with different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret 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 available. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It is a practical option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny 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 sleek and simple it was to carry, even when fully loaded with kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're at different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. Some can fit a larger car seat and others come with reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem double buggy that provides great value. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. 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 can be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It is initially one, but you can add adapters to make it a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin strollers for newborns-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. These can be placed in a row or joined to one another and you can also use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want 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's also a good option for twins or children of different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it is able to handle rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's also heavier than other single-to-double buggy newborn pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having an option to recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, it can be a hassle. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspension for smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have small pockets, that are just large enough to hold phones and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain, a compact fold that can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is simple to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either direction, and the clever way that it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
