Which Lightweight double seat stroller Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, particularly if you have children of different ages. They're generally easy to steer, fold and carry up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also comes with an expanding frame width to accommodate a second car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double stroller for twins pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can stand up without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature for those who want to use it in conjunction with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a range of fun colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, Lightweight double stroller double. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

If you're looking for a compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how sleek and simple it was to carry, even when fully loaded with children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -when your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, then a tandem style may 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 of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It is initially an individual, but you can add adapters to make it a double. This can include a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard that helps an older child keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible because it can also be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for years without showing much wear, which means they have a high potential for resale.

Single-to-double pushchair with car seat

This compact double buggy is made for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension.

It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabrics.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to off road double buggy pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat having the option to recline.

This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. They often start out as single buggies and include 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 when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats for storage. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold more than a phone and keys.

Its impressive feature set includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large basket for shopping that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
