Which Lightweight double infant strollers Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly for families with children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we test are side-byside models and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can be pushed through standard doors 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 in conjunction with a baby carrier or infant car seat, and comes in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It allows for an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children and the UPPAbaby is among the lightest double stroller [click] and most stylish umbrella strollers available.

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

Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who sits in which spot. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be better for them, as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others come with reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to get in and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be a little slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which is initially a single and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could have an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can sit together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

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 space for newborns. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). These dual-use buggies are made of quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-double single pushchair

This lightweight double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different ages and as a triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's very easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons 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 numerous options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat having the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside multi-position reclining seats, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder, and an enormous, easily accessible basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets that are just sufficient to hold the phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 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 drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing the parent. It is simple to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever method by which it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other cheap double pushchair buggies.
