This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and peekaboo windows. It also comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and are best suited for kids who can sit n stand double stroller up unassisted, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double 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 five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional child seat. This makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is a great feature for those who want to use it with an infant carrier or car seat, and comes in a variety of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you transform it into a single buggy or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families that are growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most stylish and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a load of kids.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or stage they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're taller than each other, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have distinct appeals. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They also have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows and a cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that offers an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold. While it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It's not foldable without the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be more difficult to drive on 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 stroller with infant car seat buggy is a different alternative. It starts out as a single however, you can add adapters to make it a double. This can include the option of a second seat or carrycot in front or children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards that could help older children keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be positioned side by side or attached to one another and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose the right one). These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can be used for a long time 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 want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and is a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's also heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. Our test panel found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline in the front, with the seat being able to be adjusted to different positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are also easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adapted to the changing needs of the family. Often, they start as single buggies, and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or chooses to ride buggyboards.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspension for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent, and a large easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

It features a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps to make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks and ten-inch back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is simple to maneuver and features an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever method by which it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including some that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
