Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best for children who can stand up without assistance because they tend to lack car seat integration. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand small double stroller are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still argue over who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights, then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs that are lightweight offer their own perks. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others have seats that can be reversible. Some even come with an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to move into and out of, although their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not foldable without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-byside models, however they are more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This puts strain on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy that starts out as one-person, but you can add adapters that turn it into a double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with younger siblings or brothers.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible since it can be converted into a twin pushchair from birth pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be placed in a row or joined to one another and you can also use them in conjunction with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). As they're made with quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without displaying much wear, which means they have a the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is designed for families who love to go on outdoor adventures and are looking 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's a great option for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up with just one hand, making it very simple 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 add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support.

The main drawback to this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to the changing family needs. They are typically single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add the second seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller can be described as one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can carry up to 40 pounds per child and has an extra storage basket in between the seats.

The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which 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 users praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands. This includes those that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
