Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pram stroller pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially for families with children of different age groups. They are generally easy to steer, fold and carry up and down the 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 has frames that can be expanded in the width to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children that can stand up without assistance because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to accommodate an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs that are side-by-side. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double jogging stroller by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to handle even when stuffed with children.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs double that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who sits in which seat. If they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while some have reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to get in and out of however their baskets are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides excellent value. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they could be more difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slightly slower to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could put strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy (Highly recommended Online site), which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can have a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. 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. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing much wear, indicating they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself 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 maneuverable even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can get a lot of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, it can be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double buggy that converts to single pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. They typically start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by the home testers. It also has a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is easy to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that you can switch them around to face either way, and the clever way it can attach an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double pushchair with car seat buggies.
