Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best compact double stroller for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. If they are at different heights, then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings with similar ages tandem pushchairs that are lightweight are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and some have Reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. The fabric is a bit less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold. Although it does require practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Because they're made from high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

The biggest drawback with this kind of buggy is that it is generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, it can be a hassle. 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

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to the changing family requirements. Often, they start as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single when your older child begins to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.
