Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are at the same age or stage, they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to access and exit from the baskets, though they are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows as well as a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks stunning and is easy to use.

However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Often, they start as single buggies, and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.
