Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, especially if you have kids of different ages. They are generally easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also has a clever frame that expands widthways to take a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children that can sit up unassisted, as these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to add a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It provides even more customization thanks to the modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy with car seat buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move, even with a full load of kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are of the same age or stage they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them, as it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double buggy with car seat pushchairs have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one parent cup holder and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem Nipper Double Buggy pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models but they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It is initially an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into double. It could have the option of a second seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other, and you can use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option 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 an excellent choice for parents who want a chic style that's as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using a one-handed system. And although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. And there are plenty of options for recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat having the option to recline.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it tends to be wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a lot. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. 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

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of families. Often, they start as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by the home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have tiny pockets, that are just sufficient to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and a compact twin stroller fold that stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position. It is easy 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 it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
