Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we've test are side-byside models and are generally recommended for kids who can stand up without assistance since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 double stroller with car seat, and Baby Trend sit and stand double stroller 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver despite their bigger footprint.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are of the same age or stage they might still argue over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers have their own appeal. Some can fit a larger car seat and others come with Reversible seats. Others even have an extra carrycot or a convertible seat in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out and a cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is easy to use.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally make more precise turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to speed up and are heavier to move, which could result in strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It is initially an individual but you can also add adapters to make it double. It could have a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some of them also have the option to add a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible. These buggies for dual-use are made of quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single-stroller.

And there are a variety of options for recline in the front, with the seat being adjustable to different positions and the rear seat having a recline option.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to get up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers double strollers aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double Running Stroller - Https://Images.Google.Cg, or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single when your child's older age begins to walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice by our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats in the parent-facing position. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs).
