Lightweight Double Stroller

Double strollers are an absolute lifesaver when you have two kids and you need to get to your destination. These narrow strollers have independent seating and sunshades that are easy to use.

This lightweight twin stroller weighs only 24 lbs when both kid seats attached. It comes with an easy fold and an e-handle. This makes it easy to store in the trunk of a car or during a trip.

Side-by-Side

The size, weight, and quality of a double stroller have a significant impact on the ease to push. In addition to the weight and size, the kind of wheels, tires, and suspension can affect how easily a stroller turns and moves in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller as well as the amount you are able to fit in it will also affect how easy or difficult it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers come with two seats adjacent to each other and are generally considered to be more easy to navigate than tandem or front-to-back models. However, the wider frame of a side-byside stroller typically means that it is more difficult to pass through standard doors. A side-by-side stroller can't fit the car seat of your child comfortably, depending on its height.

Another consideration with side-by-side strollers is that the seats are generally lower than the ones on single strollers, which can make it difficult for older children to gaze out at the scenery or chat with their peers. And, if your kids are different in age, the seating arrangement might result in sibling fights about who sits in which spot.

A tandem stroller is a great option for siblings of similar age. This type of stroller generally has a high resale value and is much easier to maneuver than many other types of double strollers. The only drawback is that a tandem stroller may be more expensive than a side by side model.

If you're a keen runner and plan on using your stroller for long walks or runs, it's worth investing in a lightweight double jogging stroller with smooth suspension. These strollers feature more robust and larger tires than standard double strollers, and they can handle off-road terrain as well as pavement. They're usually a little heavier than the average side-by-side stroller, however they're also more maneuverable and sturdy.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a great example of a top-quality lightweight, affordable tandem stroller. It's also compatible with wide variety of infant car seats, making it an excellent choice for twins.

Tandem

If your family is growing with a baby number two or twins, or you have a toddler and younger infant, there are many options for a double stroller. Whether you're looking for twins that are side-by-side or a tandem front-to back model, you'll need to think about the size and maneuverability of each, and also the amount of storage space available for bags and other equipment.

Tandem strollers usually have slimmer profile than side-byside strollers and are therefore more maneuverable in tight areas or in tight aisles in stores. However they're not as simple to fold down as single-to-double strollers and aren't as easy to use when loaded up with children and other items.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our number one choice for a lightweight, all-around tandem stroller. It is a top choice among families with only one child. It comes with a toddler's seat that can be used with the stroller, as well as a modular Rumble Seat that can be used to add a second child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are spacious comfortable and have deep seat adjustments. The canopy is spaciously sized, has peekaboo windows and both seats can be reclined independently.

Another option for a lightweight tandem is the Jogger City Select. It's a stroller for jogging that's great for active families with two children or for parents who like to take their children hiking and on park trails. The seats are spacious and comfy, with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopy is smaller than the ones on our other lightweight double strollers, but they do have great-sized sunshades that pop out with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

Other key features to look for in a light double stroller include a single-handed, self-standing fold; a one-parent brake that is easy to use and straps that are padded around the shoulders and waist for extra comfort. We also appreciate the large, easy-to-access under-seat storage basket, as well as pockets on the sides and back. If you're planning to take your children for a run regularly think about the double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a large and comfortable handlebar that makes steering simple, and a sturdy frame to take the weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the best option to transport two children who are on the verge or walking. A double umbrella stroller offers the perfect, affordable solution that lets you take your oldest child with you as you shop or eat out, or explore. Our test subjects didn't like this type of stroller however, because it has flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed rough fasteners and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is small and shallow. Parents have complained that their children could slide out of the front seat if not properly buckled up. And the 5-point harnesses can be a bit flimsy and can cause chafing on the skin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is quite light and folds up easily for transportation in cars and small trunks. It can accommodate two infant car seats, which is ideal for families with toddlers or young babies on the moving.

Tandem strollers provide more space than side-by-side strollers, making them an ideal option for urban people. But they can be tough to maneuver on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. And they typically take up more storage space than side-byside models when folded, which can be a problem for families who live in small homes or apartments.

If you're in search of a tandem stroller or side-by-side buggies, our double buggy travel system stroller reviews can assist you in finding the most lightweight option for your family's needs and budget. Those who will frequently use their stroller in crowded urban areas should look for one that is easy to turn, steer and push.

Don't hesitate to look at other brands if looking for a light double stroller. A lot of our top-rated models come in a variety of colors and feature a variety of additional features, including the parent tray, a foot brake, an enormous storage basket, and much more.

Compact

If you have two children less than 5 years old double strollers are an essential piece of gear. It lets you keep one eye on your toddler while attending to your infant. It also frees up space in your car and lets you brave crowded supermarket aisles or parks and city streets with only one pair of hands.

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, it's important to consider how you plan to use it. Many parents choose an adaptable, single-to-double stroller, when they have their first child and then add a second seat as their family grows. Although this might seem like an ideal purchase at the time, we have discovered that it usually is more beneficial for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller designed specifically for their children's ages and stages.

The best double strollers that are compact offer a variety of configurations and features that include ample storage space, multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some models even have an integrated bassinet, making them perfect for newborns and infants. They are small and fold almost flat. This makes them a great option for parents with little storage space.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller, it is important to consider how it performs in different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a tough getting around tight areas and climbing up curbs while others can handle more difficult terrains with ease. Some jogging walkers, for example, have special suspensions that help them navigate over uneven terrain and pavement without tripping their riders.

It's also a great idea to check the weight of the strollers before you purchase. The lighter the stroller is, the easier it will be to push and move around. The lightest stroller we tried was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs close to 23 pounds. In general, most of the strollers we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
