Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers can be a lifesaver for families with two kids who need to move from point A to point B. These strollers have independent reclining seats as well as easy-to-use shade.

This stroller is lightweight and only weighs 24 lbs when both child seats are in place. It has a compact fold that is self-standing, as well as an adjustable carry strap that is perfect for schlepping in the trunk of your car or on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The weight, size, and quality of a double-stroller can have a significant influence on how easy it is for you to push. The type of tires, wheels and suspension, along with the weight and size, affects the ease at which a double stroller can be turned and moved in tight spaces. Of course the number of children and the amount of things you have in them also makes a difference in how hard or easy it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers feature two seats that are next to each other, and are generally considered to be easier to maneuver than tandem or front-to-back models. The wider frame of the side-by-side makes it difficult to pass through standard doorways. A side-by-side stroller can't fit your child's car seat comfortably, depending on its height.

The seat backs of side-byside strollers are typically lower than single strollers. This can make it more difficult for older children to look at the scenery or talk to their friends. The seating arrangement can lead to disputes between siblings when you have children of different ages.

A tandem stroller is a good choice for siblings of similar age. This type of stroller typically has a higher resales value and is easier to navigate than many other types of double strollers. The only drawback is that a tandem stroller can be more expensive than a side-byside model.

If you're a keen runner and are planning to use your stroller on long runs or walks, it is worthwhile to invest in a light double stroller with smooth suspension. These strollers are larger and more durable wheels than standard double strollers and can handle off-road and pavement terrain. These strollers are usually heavier than standard side-by-side strollers but they are easier to maneuver and are more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a fantastic example of a high-quality light, compact, and affordable tandem stroller. It's also compatible with a wide range of infant car seats making it a good option for twins.

Tandem

If your family is growing with the addition of a second baby or twins, or if you have a toddler and a younger infant there are plenty of options for a double stroller. You'll need to take into consideration the size, maneuverability, and storage space of each model.

Tandem strollers have a smaller profile than side-byside models. They may be easier to maneuver around crowded areas or narrow aisles of shops. However they're not as easy to collapse as single-to-double models and aren't as easy to use when loaded up with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our number one pick for an all-around lightweight tandem stroller. It is a top choice among families with just one child. It comes with a toddler seat that can be used with the stroller as well as a movable Rumble Seat which can be used to add another child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are spacious and comfortable, with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also large sizeable and features windows that peek out, and both seats recline independently of one other.

The Jogger City Select is another excellent option for a light tandem. It's a stroller for jogging that's ideal for families with two kids or parents who love 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 a little smaller than those on our other strollers that are lightweight however, they do come with nice-sized pop-out sunshades with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

Other key features to look for in a light double stroller are a one-handed, self-standing fold; a simple, one-parent brake and straps that are cushioned around the waist and shoulders for comfort. We also prefer a large, easy-to-access under-seat basket and rear and side pockets for storage. If you're planning to take your kids out jogging frequently think about the Bambisol Double Side to Side Twin Pushchair - Compact Black Grey jogger. It's fast and agile, with a large, padded handlebar that makes steering easy and a sturdy frame to support the extra weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the only option to transport two children who are at the edge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is a cheap compact solution that allows your eldest to sit back in the back and your younger one to walk or stand with you as you shop, eat out and explore. Our test participants didn't enjoy this kind of stroller however, because it is often flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some have even exposed rough fasteners or materials that are not skin-friendly.

Additionally the front seat is also small and sloping. Parents have stated that their children may slip out of the front seat if they are not properly buckled up. The 5-point harnesses could irritate the skin if they are too thin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, however, is relatively lightweight and folds easily to fit in small trunks and cars. It accepts two infant car seats, which is perfect for families with toddlers or infants on the moving.

Tandem strollers are a great option for urban dwellers who have to navigate in narrow spaces and on sidewalks since they usually have more room than side-by-side options. However, they can be difficult to maneuver on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They consume more space when folded than side-by-side models, which could be problems for those living in small apartments or homes.

Our double stroller reviews will help you select the right lightweight option for you and your family. If you intend to use your stroller in crowded urban areas, you need to choose a model that is easy for you to steer, turn and push. Families who are planning to use their strollers less often may be able to spend a bit more for a model which includes more features and seating options. Don't hesitate to look at other brands if you're searching for a light double stroller. Many of our top models are available in multiple colors, and many come with additional features such as an adult tray or a foot brake.

Compact

If you have two children less than 5 years old double strollers are an essential piece of gear. You can keep an eye on your toddler and look after your infant while using the double stroller. It saves space in the car and allows you only to use one hand when navigating crowded supermarket aisles and double Prams for infant And toddler city streets.

If you're in search of a stroller that is lightweight and double-seat, it is important to consider the way you plan to utilize it. Some parents opt for a convertible, single-to-double stroller for their first child and then add a second seat as their family expands. While this may seem like an ideal purchase at the time, we have observed that it is more beneficial for families to purchase a lightweight double stroller designed specifically for their children's ages and stages.

The most double strollers for compact size offer a variety of options and configurations, including ample storage as well as multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars and canopies with windows that peek out. Some even come with a built-in bassinet, making them perfect for newborns and infants. They are small in footprint and folds down to almost flat, making them an excellent option for parents who have little storage space at home or when traveling.

When selecting a lightweight double-stroller you must also consider how it performs in different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a hard time maneuvering in tight spots and getting up curbs, while others can handle more difficult terrains with ease. Certain strollers that jog, for example, have special suspensions that allow them to glide over rough terrain and pavement without jostling their riders.

It's also a good idea to measure the weight of each stroller prior to you purchase. The lighter the stroller the easier it is to push and carry. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, weighing around 23 pounds. Most of the models that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 pounds.
