A compact double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly for families with children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the steps.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for kids who can sit up on their own because they tend ready to grow double stroller lack car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are great for parents worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add another seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as an jogger which is perfect for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for growing families. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and stylish strollers available.

If you're looking for a compact and lightweight double, you can try the egg2 which folds down to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were amazed by how easy it was to maneuver, even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side pushchairs that are lightweight double buggy aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are of the same age or stage they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others come with Reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for the parent and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that provides great value. The fabric is 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. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however, they can be more challenging to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It is initially a single to double buggy however, you can add adapters to convert it into a double. They can include the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can sit together. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be swiveled together or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible with the. Because they're made from high-quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, which means they have a high resale value.

Single-to-Double running Stroller

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and are looking to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and is a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's also a good option for parents looking for an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of colors for the fabric.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers and the carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options to recline the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering an option to recline.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to get through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally perform well in dealing with pavements and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of families. They often start out as single buggies, and come with adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model can hold children up to 40lbs each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys.

The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to move around due to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
