Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a large canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.
The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because of its clever frame that expands to accommodate a second child seat. This makes it smaller than other side-byside pushchairs.

Another excellent side-by-side lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, that offers more customization with a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins).

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they could still argue over who sits in which spot. And if they're different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it lets them look at each other.
Tandem
While side-byside models are better suited to siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. They can take a bigger 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 found on buggies that are single. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows as well as a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the young children.
The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that is a an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its one-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot is not foldable when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. They can have an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front.

This iCandy model is very easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, however our home tester Karolina says it's very capable of maneuvering even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.
You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests.

The biggest drawback of this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides which means you can get a lot of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry a large amount. It's a little easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.
Convertible
Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your child reaches the age of walk or chooses to ride a buggyboard.

This versatile tandem is a top pick among our home testers for its maneuverability and large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats in the parent-facing position.
