Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for children that can sit up on their own because they tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It can be pushed through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It allows for even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double buggy that converts to single with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight cheap double pushchair pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are the same age or stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable 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 in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies 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 provides excellent value. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which starts off as an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-byside. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. They can be placed in a row or joined to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without displaying much wear, meaning they have the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children from different age groups and, as triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a stylish design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's really simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options to recline the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a hassle. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as 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 requirements of the family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the 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 backs of the seats have tiny pockets that are not big enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact twin stroller fold with handy straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick 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 a breeze to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either way, and the clever way that it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including some that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
