Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children 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 with adjustable reclining, as well as huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It can be pushed through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It's also a jogger, which is great news for those who want to use it with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for even more customization thanks to a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers around.

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

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -when your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting 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 confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to access and exit from, although their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as 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 expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While 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 lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-byside 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 can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It is initially an individual but you can also add adapters to make it double. This can include an additional seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can be seated side-by-side. Some also have the option of adding buggy boards that can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible. These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of different age groups. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a one-handed system. Although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat offering an option to recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can be a hassle. Some are easier 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 requirements of the family. They typically start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also has a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have tiny pockets, which are just sufficient to hold phones and a set of keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has 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 a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice from 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 extremely light weight (about the same as single and double stroller pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either way, and the clever method by which it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
