Side-by-Side

The majority of light double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for kids who can sit up unassisted because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. The thule double stroller Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They offer adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are of the same age or stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is the best option for them, since it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem double stroller lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to access and exit from, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. They often have larger large canopies that have peekaboo windows as well as a parent cup holder and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a lightweight and affordable tandem. Its fabrics feel a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot can't be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Some can even convert back to a single when your child gets older and starts to walk more or prefers to ride on a buggy board.
