Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair twin, especially if you have kids of different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with an expanding frame width to accommodate the second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best lightweight double stroller for children who can sit up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. That said, the 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 huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create a second seat, which makes it lighter than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature if you want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single to double stroller or a double by adding two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to use even when stuffed with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -when your children are the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweiingle-to-Double

This light double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that, is perfect for twins or children of various ages. It's also a great choice for parents who want a stylish design that's as sleek as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's also heavier than some of the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having 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 which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, it can be a problem. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family requirements. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) a car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40 pounds per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. Home users loved its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a smartphone and keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and comes with an additional seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and stands up on its own 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 more comfortable riding. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the most popular 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 they are in the parent-facing position. Its surprisingly lightweight weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way that it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double pram pushchair buggies.
