Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair double makes it easy to move around, especially if you have children of different age groups. 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 has a clever frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children that can stand up without assistance, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 double pram buggy and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate another seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It can be pushed through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It's also a jogger, which is a great feature if you want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you turn it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers available.

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

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -If your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with 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 more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models but they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It's initially one however, you can add adapters to make it a double. They can include a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some of them also have the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can aid older children keep up with a younger sibling.

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

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of various ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design that is as simple as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. And although it's heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best twin buggy thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing requirements. They are typically single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspension for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear 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 to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its extremely light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever way it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
