The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since 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 have adjustable recline for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints, and are ideal for parents worried about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands in width to add a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are the same age or at the same stage, they may still fight over who gets to ride in which seat. If  read what he said  than each other it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it allows them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight  double pushchairs  offer their own perks. 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 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 also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. The fabrics are a little less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-by-side models. However, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slow to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which can put strain on your back.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up with just one hand, making it extremely easy to master. Although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for recline in the front, with the seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.

This type of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these types of strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family requirements. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies, and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in certain instances) 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 a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers we have on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage.

It also has a handy cup holder for the parent as well as an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.

This versatile tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. It is easy to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the weight of a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction and the clever way that it connects an additional seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many.
