Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit without assistance, since they lack car seat compatibility.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles, however, it still looks and feels great and is very easy to use. One of the most impressive things about it is its single-handed fold. While it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius".
