Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have children with different age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and 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 stand up without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to add an additional child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is a great feature when you're planning to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It provides additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you're looking for a compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small double buggy suitcase. It can be used as a single to double buggy or double pram pushchair with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to handle, even when fully loaded with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -If your children are of the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to access and exit from, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and cushioned 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 great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to speed up and may be heavier to move, which could put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can be seated side-byside. Some also have the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat area for infants. They can be attached together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing any wear, which means they have a the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-double pushchair from birth

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

We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely easy to master. It's also heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are many options for reclining in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this type 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 is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to do a good job of handling paved surfaces, 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 aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a lot. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can be a problem. Some are more easy 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 ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of a family. They are typically single buggies, and include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child, and includes an integrated storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents, and an ample, easily accessible basket. The backs have tiny pockets, that are just large enough to hold the phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive features include a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way that it can attach the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from various brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
