12 Companies Leading The Way In Double Pushchair
Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and huge UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that expands widthways to take a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety 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 of its clever frame that expands in width to allow for a second child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs. It can be pushed through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or baby carrier.


Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 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, 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 tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a full load of children.

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who sits in which position. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them as it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that offers excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they could be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also a little slower to pick up speed and can 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. They can have an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. The children can sit together. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible with the. These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

This lightweight double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different ages and as a triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

This type of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of families. They typically start as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, which are only large enough to hold phones and a set of keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair 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 wheel lock that swivels in the front and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is easy to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
