The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -If your children are at the same age or stage, they may still fight over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models may be better suited for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs have their own charms.

This type of buggy has the main disadvantage of being a bit wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping.

Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.
