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 comes with an expanding frame the width to accommodate an additional car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline adjustments for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, making it smaller 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 ideal if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a good option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how sleek and simple it was to carry even when loaded with kids.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can fit a larger car seat and others come with Reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

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

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. These can include a second seat or carrycot on the front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some also have the option of adding buggy boards that can aid an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible with the. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have 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 transforms into a jogger with the help of an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins, or children from different age groups, and as a triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a sleek design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very mobile even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats and the front seat is adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having an option to recline.

This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, it can be a hassle. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of families. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things.

It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. They also noted that the backs of the bags have small double stroller pockets that are just sufficient to hold a phone and a set of keys.

This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats facing the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands, including those that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
