Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children who 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 adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

Although they're light, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may still fight about who gets to sit and stand double stroller in which seat. And if they're taller than each other it could be that a tandem design might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or convertible seat in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows as well as a parent cup holder and padding for the legs of young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that provides great value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not possible to fold it without the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it's generally wider overall than side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're generally significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit and stand double stroller N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. They typically start as single buggies, but include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single buggie when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.
