Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It offers an even greater degree of customization due to the modular frame.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof, though -when your children are the same age or stage they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best for children of similar age group, tandem light 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 easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its single-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as an individual and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It could have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can be seated together. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to each other's faces, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you select the right one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without showing any wear, indicating they have high potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. all terrain double buggy Pushchairs And Prams can be converted into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension.

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

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it tends to be wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually much lighter than some of the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, it can be a problem. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible


Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They typically start as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.
