Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially if you have children of different ages. 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, large UPF 50+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that expands widthways to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for children who can sit up on their own because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for a second child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver even with a load of children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -when your children are of the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and simple to get in and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive 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 one-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which starts off as a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. They can include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an area that is flat for newborns. They can be placed side by side or attached to face each other, and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children from different ages and, as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish design that is as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for recline and recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat having the option to recline.

The biggest drawback with this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible lightest double stroller pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This lightweight, high-end side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps for easy transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
