Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for children that can sit up unassisted, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit n stand Double stroller 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame extends its width to create an additional seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great for those who want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a great option for growing families and the UPPAbaby is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. 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 sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who sits in which seat. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others come with seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

tandem double stroller lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however they are more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It is initially one but you can also add adapters to make it a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot or both in front. Or the children can share a seat. Some of them also offer the option of adding buggy boards that could help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

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. They can be placed side by side or attached to each other's faces and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing much wear, which means they have a an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double stroller with bassinet buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children from different age groups, and as a triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic style that's as elegant as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a one-handed system. And although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclined seats with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can be a hassle. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of the family. They typically start as single buggies, and come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child's older age begins 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 40lbs per child and has an extra storage basket in between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever method by which it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
