This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has huge UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. It also comes with a frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. twin buggy are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to accommodate another child seat. This makes it lighter than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It can also be used as 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, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that allows you to turn it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move around even with a load of children.

Although they're light double pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it will allow them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most striking things 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 with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models but they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to speed up and may be heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.


A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It's initially an individual however, you can add adapters to make it double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or children can sit side-by-side. Some of them also offer the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be positioned on top of each other or positioned to face each other, and you can use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose an appropriate one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without displaying much wear, which means they have a an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and is a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of various ages. It's also a great choice for parents who want a stylish design that's as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of fabrics.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it very easy to master. And although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for babies. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good lumbar support and headrests. There are many options for reclining the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having an option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry loads. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It comes with a handy basket in between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an enormous easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

Its impressive set of features includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front 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 rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
