It's easy to move around in the lightweight double pushchair especially if you have children with different ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over steps.

Side-by-Side
The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children that can sit up unassisted since these models tend to lack car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprint and are great for parents who worry about fitting through doorways.
The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs available. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to move around on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier.
Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double tandem pushchair is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to transform it into a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families that are growing.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or a single by adding two baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with how easy it was to move around, even with a full load of kids.
Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however -- if your children are the same age or stage, they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. And if they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them as it lets them confront each other.
Tandem
While side-by-side models are more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others have reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.
The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that offers great value. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.
Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, however, they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This puts strain on your back.
A convertible double buggy is a different option. It's initially an individual but you can also add adapters to make it double. It can have the option of a second seat or carrycot on the front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some also have the option to add buggy boards, which can help older children keep up with a younger sibling.
The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin stroller side by side-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create a flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible with the. These dual-use buggies are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have a high resale price.
Single-to-Double
Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy turns into a jogger with the help of an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It's also a great option for twins or children of different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it's able to take on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.
We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down using a single-hand mechanism that's extremely simple to master. It's also heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs (images.google.so post to a company blog) in this review, home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.
The seat can be used with the parent facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent lumbar support and headrests. There are plenty of options for recline, with the front seat adjusting to various positions and the rear seat offering a recline option.
The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, this can be a problem. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.
Convertible
The best twin stroller thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing requirements. They are typically single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) a car seat to the frame. Some of them can be converted back to a single when your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.
This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can carry up to 40 lbs per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also has a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the backs of the seats have small pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a cell phone and keys.
This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with two seats and a carrycot. Its impressive features include a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and back wheels that measure 10 inches with suspension for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need purchase a separate baby carrier or car seat.
This versatile tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction, and the clever method by which it can attach the second seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated the fact that it could accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some that aren't typically fit into other double buggies.
