Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they tend to lack car seat compatibility. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature when you're planning to use it with baby carriers or a car seat, and comes in a variety of exciting colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. Its clever design lets you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest Double stroller, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver, even with a full load of kids.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still fight about who gets to sit in which position. If they are at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is best for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers come with distinct appeals. Some can fit an extra car seat, while others have Reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to access and exit from the baskets, though they tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the 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. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slightly slower to speed up and may be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different option. It is initially an individual, but you can add adapters to convert it into double. They can include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. The children can share a seat. Some have the option of adding a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be attached together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible with the. These dual-use buggies are made of quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children of different ages, and as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a chic design that is as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold using a single-handed system. Although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with good headrests and lumbar support. And there are many options for reclining, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat having the option of recline.

This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these models are generally able to cope with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can get a lot of storage. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single when your older child starts to 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 40 lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent as well as a large easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have small pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive features include an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features a large basket for shopping that can be accessed 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 around. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either way, and the clever method by which it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also loved that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
