Which Lightweight Double pushchair double Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it easy to move around, especially if you have children of various ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and over stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can stand up without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand off road double buggy, are both excellent options. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add an additional seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to turn it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most stylish and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a compact lightweight double, try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how sleek and simple it was to handle even when loaded with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable 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 easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slow to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to one another and you can also use them with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made of quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a great choice for parents who want an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of fabrics.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's also heavier than the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options to recline the seats with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can be a problem. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double Stroller for 3 year Old.

Convertible

The best lightweight double stroller thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family needs. Often, they start as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double pram pushchair strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. Home users loved its large canopy with windows that peek out multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets that are just large enough to hold a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with two seats and a carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions that smooth rough terrain and it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps that make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. 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 due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
