Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double running stroller pushchair, especially if you have children with different age groups. They're typically simple to fold, steer, and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to allow for a second child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it with baby carriers or a car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most compact double stroller stylish and most stylish available.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move even with a load of kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -If your children are at the same age or stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be better for them as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides great value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, which starts off as a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double buggy newborn. It can have a second seat or carrycot in front or children can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin buggy-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other and you can also use them with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing any wear, meaning they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade their 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 can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of the family. They often start out as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the Lightest Double Stroller double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspension for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact double stroller fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. Its lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either direction, and the clever method by which it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
