Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers can be a lifesaver for families with two kids who must get from point A to point B. These strollers are narrow and have separate seating and sunshades that are easy to use.

This lightweight twin stroller weighs only 24 lbs when the two child seats attached. It has a compact fold that's self-standing and an adjustable carry strap that is perfect for schlepping in the trunk of your car, or on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The size, quality and weight of a double stroller greatly influence how easy it's to push. The type of tires, wheels, and suspension, as well as the weight and size, affects how easily a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. And, of course the number of children and the amount of stuff you keep in them affects how difficult or simple it is to push.

Side-by-side models come with two seats which are next to each one. They are considered to be easier to maneuver than tandems or front-to back models. The wider frame of the side-by-side stroller can make it difficult to fit through standard doorways. Also, depending on the height of your kids' car seats, a side-byside stroller might not be able to accommodate them comfortably.

Another consideration with side-by-side strollers is that their seat backs tend to be lower than those of single strollers. This can make it difficult for older kids to gaze out at the scenery or chat with their friends. And, if your kids are different ages, the seating arrangement might cause sibling rivalries over who sits in which spot.

A tandem stroller is a good option for siblings of similar ages. This kind of stroller usually has a high resale price and is more user-friendly than many other types of double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than one that has two seats.

If you're a keen runners and plan to use your stroller for long runs or walks it's worth investing in a lightweight double jogging stroller with smooth suspension. These strollers are larger and more robust wheels than standard double strollers and can handle off-road and pavement terrain. They are generally heavier than standard side-byside strollers but they are easier to maneuver and more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a fantastic example of a quality, double buggy That Converts to single lightweight, and affordable tandem stroller. It's also compatible with wide range of infant car seats which makes it a great choice for twins.

Tandem

There are a variety of options for double strollers if your family is growing with twins or a baby number two or two children, a toddler and an infant. You'll have to think about the size, maneuverability and storage capacity of each model.

Tandem strollers have a narrower profile than side-byside models. They may be easier to maneuver through crowded areas or narrow aisles of stores. However they're not as easy to collapse as single-to-double models and can be cumbersome to carry around when filled with children and cargo.

The UPPAbaby Vista is a top pick for an all-around lightweight tandem stroller. It is a top choice among families with only one child. It comes with a toddler seat that can be used in conjunction with the stroller as well as a movable Rumble Seat that can be used to add a second child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large, comfortable, and feature deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also large sized and includes peekaboo windows, and both seats recline independently of each other.

The Jogger City Select is another great option for a lightweight tandem. It's a stroller for jogging that's great for active families with two kids or parents who want to take their children out on trails and hikes. The seats are spacious and comfortable, with adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is a little smaller than the ones on our other double strollers that are light however, they do come with great-sized sunshades that pop out with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

Other features worth looking for in a light double stroller are a one-handed self-standing fold, a one-parent brake that is easy to use; and straps that are cushioned around the waist and shoulders to ensure comfort. We also like a spacious, easy-to-access under-seat basket and the rear and side pockets to provide storage. If you're planning to take your children for a run regularly think about the double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a wide cushioned handlebar that makes steering simple, and a sturdy frame to support the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the only option to transport two children who are on the verge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is an affordable, compact solution that lets you take your oldest child with you while you go shopping or eat out, or explore. Our test participants didn't enjoy this type of stroller however, as it has flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some even have exposed rough fasteners and fabrics that aren't suitable for skin.

The front seat is narrow and slender. Parents have reported that their children can slide out of the front seat if they are not properly buckled up. The 5-point harnesses could irritate the skin if too thin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is quite light and folds up easily for transportation in cars and small trunks. It can also accommodate two infant car seats, which can be handy for families with young babies or toddlers on the move.

Tandem strollers are an excellent option for those who live in cities and have to navigate through narrow spaces and on sidewalks, since they typically have more room than side-by-side options. They aren't easy to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They take up more space when folded than side-by-side models, which can be a problem for those with smaller homes or apartments.

If you're looking for a lightweight, double stroller it's important to think about how you'll use it. Many parents choose an adaptable single-to-double stroller when they have their first child. They then add another seat as their family expands.

The best double strollers for compact size have a wide range of features and configurations, including ample storage as well as multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars and canopies that have peekaboo windows. Some even have an integrated bassinet, making them ideal for infants and toddlers. They are compact and fold flat. This makes them a great option for parents with limited storage space.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller you must also consider how it performs in different terrains and surfaces. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and up curbs while others can handle more challenging terrain. Jogging strollers are for instance equipped with special suspensions that let them navigate over uneven terrain and pavement without tripping their rider.

Finally, it's also an excellent idea to check out the weight of each stroller before you buy. The lighter the stroller, the easier it is to push and carry. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, with a weight of around 23 pounds. Most of the models that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
