Which lightweight twin stroller Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A compact double pushchair is easy to move around, especially for families with children of different ages. They're typically simple 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, UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also features a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are perfect 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, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It is also a jogger which is great if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you turn it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the lightest double stroller and stylish umbrella strollers around.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by the ease of maneuver, even with a full load of kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof, though -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have their own charms. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while some have Reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold. While it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can be seated together. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be attached together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible. These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials and can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children from different ages and as triple tandem, it's able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds down with just one hand, making it really easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are a variety of options for recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat having the option to recline.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry loads. It's easier to turn around on the smallest of curved 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 the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family needs. They are typically single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double stroller double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent, and an enormous accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have pockets that are not big enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive features include a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold with handy straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch wheel lock that swivels in the front and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is simple to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
