Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, as they lack compatibility with car seats. That said there are some exceptions. 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 wide canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are great for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who sits in which spot. If they're at different heights, a tandem model could be better for them as it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have distinct appeals. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and others have Reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to move into and out of, although their baskets are usually smaller than the ones on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a excellent value. The fabric is a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring.

It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side, which makes it harder to navigate through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can have plenty of storage space. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles, and they may struggle to carry a large amount. Although it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this 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

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to a family's changing requirements. They are typically single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to include a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride buggyboards.
