Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for kids who can sit up unassisted, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transportation.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a good option for families growing.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're at different heights, a tandem style might be better for them as it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to access and exit from however their baskets are typically smaller than those of single buggies. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they could be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They may also be slow to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could cause stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. It can also include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can aid an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double tandem pushchair pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support.

The biggest drawback with this type 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 can be difficult to manoeuvre 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 which means you can have plenty of storage. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as adept at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or wants to ride a buggyboard.

It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board to the back.
