Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially when you have children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. 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 the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 double pram pushchair and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

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

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It provides additional flexibility due to a modular frame. Its clever design lets the conversion of an individual or double buggy (sneak a peek at this website) by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to handle even when stuffed with children.

Although they're light double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which position. And if they're at different heights, a tandem style might be better for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. 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 is initially one-person, but you can add adapters to make it into a double. It can also have a second seat, carrycot or both in front. Or the children can sit together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

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 area for infants. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other, and you can use them with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins, or children from different ages and as triple tandem, it's able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are plenty of options for recline and recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still get a lot of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a large amount. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of a family. Often, they start as single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has a convenient parent cup holder, and a large easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have small pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone 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 that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever way it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from various brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
