Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly if you have children of different ages. They are 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 peekaboo windows. It also comes with an expanding frame the width to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for children that can stand up without assistance because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are great for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create an additional seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great news when you're planning to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It provides an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you convert it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to handle even when stuffed with 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 gets to sit in which spot. If they are at different heights, a tandem style may be best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings of similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and some have seats that can be reversible. Others have an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-byside models. However, they may be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It starts out as an individual however, you can add adapters to make it double. It can have a second seat or carrycot in the front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards that can aid older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pushchair pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat area for infants. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for years without showing much wear, meaning they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is made for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good choice for parents looking for a stylish design that's as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We loved the way 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, but our home test Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. And there are plenty of options for recline and recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat having a recline option.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs double is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. They typically start as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double stroller double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home users loved its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as a large, easily accessible basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing towards the parent. Its light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Many users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also admired that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
