Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have compatibility with car seats. That said, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways.

Although they're lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who sits in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more for children of similar age group, tandem light double strollers have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have reversible seats or an extra carrycot in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

stokke double stroller  is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring.

This type of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow curved path, it can be a problem. Some are also easier to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of families. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair, a carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.
