Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and they're generally best for kids who can sit up unassisted since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It is also a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still argue over who gets to sit in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be a little slower to speed up and are heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It's initially a single however, you can add adapters to convert it into a double. This can include an additional seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option to add a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. These can be placed in a row or joined to each other's faces and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without displaying much wear, which means they have a an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children of different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good option for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single and is available in a range of colors for the fabric.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's really easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. 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.

This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry a large amount. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, it can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. pushchairsandprams are able to be converted to a single when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can hold children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with an easy-to-use basket between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside 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 enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a smartphone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and a compact fold that stands up on its own with straps to make it easy to transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing position. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not typically compatible with other double buggies.
