Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. These are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands widthways to add an additional seat, making it slimmer than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it can fit through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport.

It can be used as a single or a double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to handle, even when fully loaded with children.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still fight about who gets to sit in which seat. If they're different heights, a tandem style might be better for them as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and others have reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very 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 while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They are also a little slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can put stress on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy which is initially a single and then you can add adapters that turn it into a double. They can include an additional seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger.

They can be positioned side by side or attached to each other's faces, and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing much wear, which means they have a high price resales.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different age groups and as triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a stylish style that's as sleek as a single and is available in a variety of colors.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up with a one-handed mechanism that's really easy to master. It's also heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat offering the option of recline.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a lot. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can still be a problem. 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 ideal because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40 pounds per child and has an integrated storage basket between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspensions for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as an ample, easily accessible basket. They did note that the backs of the bags have small pockets which are only big enough to fit phones and keys.

The only drawback is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing the parent. Its lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Reversible seats mean you can switch them around to face either direction and the clever way that it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
