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. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprint and are perfect for parents who worry about fitting into doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands widthways to add another seat, making it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It can fit through doors that are standard and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is great if you want to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a variety of exciting colors.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double stroller for twins [www.pinterest.com]. It offers even more customization thanks to a modular frame. It's a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for growing families. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, most fashionable and stylish strollers available.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a double or a single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move even with a load of kids.

double stroller with infant car seat pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof however -when your children are at the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers are light and lightweight. They usually make tighter turning than side-by-side models. However, they could be difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be a little slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back.

A convertible double buggy is an additional option. It starts out as a single but you can also add adapters to convert it into double. These can include the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front or children can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider including a buggyboard that assists an older child to keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you select an appropriate one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without displaying much wear, indicating they have an excellent price resales.

Single-to-Double

Designed for outdoor-loving families who are looking to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres as well as all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is suitable for twins or children of different ages. It's also a great choice for parents who want an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself using a single-hand mechanism that's really easy to master. 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 and the carrycot.

You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are numerous options for reclining the seats and the front seat is can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat having a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest 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 up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally good at coping with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver around supermarkets with narrow aisles and they can be difficult to carry a lot. Although it's easier to turn the stroller on a small curved path, it can be a hassle. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

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

This stylish tri-fold double buggy travel system stroller is among of the lightest double stroller on our list.

This versatile tandem is a top pick from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible with both seats facing the parent. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its surprisingly low weight (about the weight of a few single double stroller pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seat from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
