Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair is easy to move around, especially for families with children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and carry 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 windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that can expand in width to take a second seat, and also a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to add a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single to double buggy stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby makes one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you prefer a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which 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 use even when loaded with children.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to move into and out of however their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight twin stroller double pushchairs will typically make tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially an individual but you can also add adapters to make it a double. It can also have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Children can be seated together. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards that could help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin pushchair from birth-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be attached together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made from 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

This lightweight double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all terrain double buggy-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children of different age groups and as triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is easy to fold using the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very mobile even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are many options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering an option to recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They often start out as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40lbs per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are only big enough to fit a phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain, it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps to make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
