Which lightweight twin stroller Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have children of varying ages. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate a second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and they're generally best for children that can sit up on their own because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate another seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. 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 also available in a variety of exciting colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The clever design allows you to convert it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to maneuver, even with a full load of children.

Although they're lightweight double umbrella stroller pushchairs that sit side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still argue over who gets to sit in which spot. And if they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models however they are more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. 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 one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some also have the option of adding buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be placed in a row or joined to face each other, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made of quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children from different age groups, and as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's very simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-small double buggy pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering 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 infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are numerous options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each and features a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated 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 has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have pockets that are not big enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations, and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain, it folds compactly and stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top pick from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing the parent. Its light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
