Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have kids with different age groups. They're typically simple to steer, fold and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also has frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children who can sit up unassisted since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the 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. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to accommodate another child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is great when you're planning to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a variety of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 off road double buggy, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to turn it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a tiny 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 how easy it was to move even with a full load of kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are at the same age or stage they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be best for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to move into and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It is initially a single however, you can add adapters to convert it into double jogging stroller. They can have a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. The children can sit together. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin buggy pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be attached together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing any wear, which means they have a high price resales.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres 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 also a good option for parents looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with a one-handed system. And although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it is generally 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. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a lot. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can still be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing needs. They typically start as single buggies, but include adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your child reaches the age of 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 carry up to 40lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. Home testers appreciated 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 comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have pockets that are not big enough to hold more than a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket for shopping that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double infant strollers buggies.
