Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more suitable for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to get in and out of however their baskets are usually smaller than those of single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most striking things about it is its single-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

They may also be slightly slower to pick up speed and can be heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. These can include a second seat or carrycot in the front or children can sit side-by-side. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can aid older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be positioned side by side or attached to face each other and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that comes with the pushchair (as as long as you choose the right one). These buggies for dual-use are made of high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of various ages. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish design as elegant as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

We loved the way that 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, but home tester Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However,  thule double stroller  and suspension are generally able to are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're much lighter than some of the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a lot. It's a little easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths however, it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family needs. They often start out as single buggies, but come with adapters to add the second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40 pounds per child, and includes a storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by home testers. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This multi-functional tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). The seats are reversible, which means that you can switch them around to face either direction, and the clever method by which it attaches a 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 various brands, including some that don't normally fit into other double buggies.
