Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for children who can sit up unassisted since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint, and are ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still argue over who sits in which position. If they are at different heights, a tandem style may be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to access and exit from the baskets, though they are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many also feature more generously large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded when it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can share a seat. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin stroller side by side pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that provide a flat space for infants. They can be attached together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair if it is compatible. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for many years without showing any wear, which means they have a high price resales.

However the suspension and wheels are generally able to are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry loads. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow curved path, this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand smallest double buggy.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of a family. They often start out as single buggies, but come with adapters to add the second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.
