Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, especially if you have children of different age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the 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 features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is a great feature for those who want to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. The innovative design allows you to transform it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver even with a load of kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however -If your children are of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things 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 double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be a little slower to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which could result in strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It's initially one but you can also add adapters to convert it into double. It could have a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin buggy-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be positioned side by side or attached to each other's faces, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose the right one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted 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 is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

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

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also purchase accessories 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 good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry loads. It's a little easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. 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

Convertible double pushchairs and Prams are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of a family. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. They did note that the backs have tiny pockets, that are just large enough to hold phones and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional 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 that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is easy to move around due to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some which aren't usually fit into other double buggies.
