Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

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

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for kids who can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great when you're planning to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a variety of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and most compact double stroller stylish available.

If you're looking for a compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to move around even with a full load of kids.

Although they're light double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. If they're taller than each other, a tandem model could be better for them as it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of similar age group, tandem light double strollers have distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

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

Another option is a convertible double pushchair from birth buggy that starts out as an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can also have a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. Children can be seated together. Some also have the option to add buggy boards that can aid older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible. As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without showing much wear, which means they have a high resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of various ages. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down using a single-hand mechanism that's really simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very mobile even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options to recline the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down 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 have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double pram pushchair.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. Often, they start as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child's older age begins to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent, and an ample easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are just big enough to fit a phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier 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 is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is simple to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever way it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
