Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can sit without assistance, since they lack car seat compatibility. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Nipper Double Buggy are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings of similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals.
