Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have kids of different age groups. 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 huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also comes with a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that can be expanded to add an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It has a smart 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 is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used 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, even with a full load of kids.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still argue over who sits in which position. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and some have Reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to access and exit from however their baskets are usually smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

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

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. They can have an additional seat, a carrycot or both in front. Children can sit together. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

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

Single-to-double running buggy

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's also a good option for parents who want an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

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

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry loads. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths however, it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They are typically single buggies, but come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single and double stroller when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest 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 handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels 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 carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. The seats are reversible, which means that 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 praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from various brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double infant stroller buggies.
