Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. These are also easy to move around despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about getting through doors.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, however- if your children are the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are larger and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use.

However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat area for infants.

This type of buggy comes with the main disadvantage of being larger than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally able to cope with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides, so you can still get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they can be difficult to carry loads.

Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family needs. They often start out as single buggies and include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.
