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 frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate an additional car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand stokke double stroller, are both excellent options. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add an additional seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. It is able to fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It's also a jogger, which is great for those who want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used either as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of maneuver even with a load of kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who rides in which seat. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and are 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 and a cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than those of some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally make more precise turns than side-by-side models, but they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They may also be a little slower to accelerate and may be heavier to move, which can result in strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially an individual however, you can add adapters to make it double pram pushchair. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can sit side-by-side. Some may have the option of adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister.

These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials and can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension.

It's a great option for parents who want a sleek design that is as elegant as a single. It comes in different fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a one-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and carrying a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. 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 kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have a decent amount of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they might struggle to carry a large amount. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a problem. Some are also easier 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 needs. They often start out as single buggies, and include adapters to add an additional seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) the car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this fashionable tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each and features an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and a front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers.

This versatile tandem is the top choice of our home testers due to the fact that it is simple to maneuver and features a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from various brands, including some that aren't typically fit in other double buggies.
