The Worst Advice We've Heard About Double Pushchair
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have kids of varying ages. They are easy to fold, steer 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 comes with a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended 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 Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add an additional seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The clever design allows you to transform it into a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. 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.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny 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 move even with a load of children.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still argue over who sits in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem


While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that offers excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, strollers double to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models but they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slow to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It starts out as an individual, but you can add adapters to make it a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be positioned side by side or attached to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby 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 dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing any wear, meaning they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different age groups, and as a triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very maneuverable even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclining the seats and the front seat is adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, it can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40 lbs per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have small pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 models. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has a large basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing position. It is simple to move around due to its light weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from a variety of brands, including those that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
