This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom with adjustable reclining, as well as massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that can expand in width to take a second seat and a compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children who can sit up on their own because they tend to lack car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to add another child seat. This makes it lighter than other side-byside pushchairs. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transportation.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It provides even more customization thanks to the modular frame.

The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

If you prefer a more compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to maneuver even with a full load of kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however -when your children are the same age or stage they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, then a tandem style may be best for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem


While side-by-side models are best suitable for siblings of similar age group, tandem light double strollers have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to get in and out of, although their baskets are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is 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 harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It's initially an individual but you can also add adapters to make it double. They can include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some of them also have the option of adding a buggy board, which can aid an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. These cocoons provide a flat space for newborns.

These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It is also a good option for twins or children from different age groups and as triple tandem, it is able to take on rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are many options to recline the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a lot. Although 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, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of a family. They are typically single buggies and include adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single buggie when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can support up to 40lbs per child and comes with an extra storage basket in between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to maneuver. Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
