Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and they're generally best double strollers for kids who can sit up on their own because they aren't equipped with car seat integration. However 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 are also easy to move around, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might still argue over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are more suitable for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows, as well as one parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It's initially one, but you can add adapters to make it a double.

As they're made with quality materials, these types of dual-use buggies can often be used for a long time without showing much wear, indicating they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight twin buggy double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring a kit that includes air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry loads.

Some are more easy to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They are typically single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its surprisingly low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back.
