Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly if you have children of different age groups. 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 and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that expands widthways to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, as they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand double buggy side by side, are both excellent options. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It provides additional flexibility due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a off road double buggy by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double stroller double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to carry even when stuffed with kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others come with reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to get in and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they may be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also slightly slower to speed up and may be heavier to move, which can cause stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. The children can share a seat. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin pushchair-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be positioned in a row or joined to one another and you can also use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select a compatible one). These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children from different ages, and as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabrics.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's really easy to master. It's heavier than other single to double stroller-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are plenty of options for recline and recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat having a recline option.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between 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 generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The home testers loved the spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Many people praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
