Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best double strollers suited for children who can stand up without assistance because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 double single pushchair and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are great for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate another seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great news for those who want to use it in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a variety of exciting colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization through a modular frame. The clever design allows you to transform it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move around even with a full load of kids.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which spot. If they're at different heights, then a tandem style may be best double buggy for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of the same ages, tandem lightweight smallest Double buggy strollers come with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to access and exit from, although their baskets are typically smaller than those on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models however they are more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It's initially a single but you can also add adapters to make it double. They can include a second seat, carrycot, or both in front. The children can be seated together. Some of them also have the option of adding a buggy board, which can help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin stroller pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for newborns. These can be placed in a row or joined to face each other and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can last 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 want to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children of different age groups and, as triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, it can be a problem. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing requirements. Often, they start as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (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 wants to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child and has a storage basket between the seats. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have tiny pockets, that are just sufficient to hold a phone and a set of keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy 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 downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
