Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for kids who can sit up on their own, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and 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 are also simple to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -when your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. twin strollers for newborns are generally more spacious and easier to move into and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can still be a problem. 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

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of families. They typically start as single buggies and come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.
