Which Lightweight Double pushchair twin Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around in a lightweight double pushchair, particularly if you have children with different age groups. They're generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children that can stand up without assistance, as these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand double travel buggy are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create a second seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as an jogger which is perfect when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of a single or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families that are growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most stylish and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a compact and lightweight double tandem pushchair, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to move around even with a load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -- if your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and some have reversible seats. Others have an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of the baskets, though they are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out and a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious 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 foldable with the carrycot attached however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models however, they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It's initially a single however, you can add adapters to convert it into a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. Children can sit together. Some of them also have the option to add a buggy board, which could help an older child 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 through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat area for infants. They can be positioned 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 as long as you choose a compatible one). These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different ages. It's a great option for parents who want a sleek design that is as simple as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's very simple to master. Although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also 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 get through doorways and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can have plenty of storage. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40lbs per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent and an enormous easy-to-access basket. They also noted that the backs have tiny pockets, which are only big enough to fit a phone and a set of keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps for easy transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem double stroller is a top choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing the parent. Its lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. The seats are reversible, which means that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever method by which it can attach a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including those that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
