Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for children who can sit up unassisted, as these models tend to lack car seat integration. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer recline that can be adjusted in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are ideal for parents who worry about fitting through doors.

If your children are at the same age and stage, they may still fight about who gets to sit in which seat. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem model could be better for them, as it will allow them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be more suitable for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs are a different kind of twin pushchair from birth with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and some have seats that can be reversible. Others have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are more spacious and easy to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of young children.

Its fabrics feel a little less expensive than our other top-rated doubles but it looks and feels great and is very easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive.

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

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to the changing family needs. They often start out as single buggies and come with adapters to add a second hand double buggy seat, a carrycot or (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame.
