Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best double stroller for children who can stand up without assistance, as they lack compatibility with car seats. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point harnesses.

Although they're light double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might still fight about who sits in which spot. If they are at different heights then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to move into and out of however their baskets are typically smaller than those of single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.

But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to one another, and you can use them with the baby car seat that is included with the pushchair (as as long as you choose a compatible one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without displaying much wear, indicating they have an excellent potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This lightweight double Stroller double buggy is made for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing needs. They typically start as single buggies, but have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.
