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 peekaboo windows. It also has a frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit without assistance, as they lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 double running buggy and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that can be expanded to add another child seat. This makes it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transport.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you convert it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It is a practical option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most stylish and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to use even when loaded with kids.

Although they're lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they may be fighting over who sits in which position. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs that are lightweight have their own charms. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a bit less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They typically make tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It starts out as a single to double pushchair but you can also add adapters to make it double. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or the kids can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different age groups. It's a great option for parents who want a sleek design as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's mobile even with two toddlers and carrying a carrycot.

You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being adjustable to different positions, and the rear seat having a recline option.

This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still find plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, it can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of the family. They often start out as single buggies, but include adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back.
