Lightweight Double Stroller

Double strollers are a lifesaver when you have two kids and you need to get to your destination. These strollers have separate reclining seats as well as easy-to-use shade.

This lightweight twin stroller weighs just 24 lbs with the two child seats attached. It comes with a compact fold and an e-handle. This makes it easy to store in the trunk of a car, or when you go on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The size, weight and quality of a double-stroller can have a significant influence on the ease to push. In addition to the weight and size, the kind of tires, wheels and suspension can affect the ease with which a stroller can turn and maneuvers in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller and how much you have in it will also affect the ease or difficulty 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. The wider frame of the side-by-side stroller can make it difficult to squeeze through standard doors. A side-byside stroller isn't able to fit the car seat of your child comfortably, depending on its height.

Another consideration with side-by-side strollers is that their seat backs tend to be lower than single strollers. This can make it difficult for older kids to gaze out at the landscape or converse with their peers. The seating arrangement can cause conflicts among siblings if you have children of different age groups.

A tandem stroller is an excellent option for siblings with similar age. This kind of stroller usually has a higher resales value and is easier to navigate than many other types of double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than a model with two seats side-by-side.

If you're a keen runner and intend to take your stroller for long runs or walks, it is worth investing in a light double stroller with smooth suspension. These strollers are larger and more durable wheels than normal double strollers, and can be used on both off-road and pavement terrain. They are generally heavier than standard side-by-side strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver and more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a fantastic example of a light tandem stroller that is affordable and of high-end. It also works with many infant car seats. This makes it a great option for twins.

Tandem

If your family is expanding with baby number two or twins, or you have a toddler and younger infant, there are plenty of options for a double stroller. Whether you're looking for an asymmetrical twin or a tandem front-to-back model you'll need to think about the size and maneuverability of each as well as the amount of storage space available for bags and gear.

Tandem strollers have a slimmer profile than side-by-side models. They can be more convenient to maneuver around crowded areas or in tight aisles of stores. They're not as simple to fold as single-to-double models, and can be difficult to fold when laden with children and cargo.

The UPPAbaby vista is our top choice for a lightweight tandem stroller that can be used in a variety of situations. It's a favorite among families with just one child. It comes with an included toddler seat as well as a modular Rumble Seat that can be added later to accommodate a second child (carriers sold separately). The seats are spacious comfortable and have deep seat adjustments. The canopy is large with peekaboo windows. both seats recline independently.

The seats are big and comfy, with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopy is smaller than our other lightweight double strollers, but they do have nice-sized pop-out sunshades 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 shoulders and waist to ensure comfort. We also appreciate a spacious, easy-to-access under-seat basket and rear and side pockets for storage. If you're planning to be taking your kids on jogging trips regularly, you should consider a specialized double jogger that's designed to be fast and agile. It comes with a large cushioned handlebar for comfortable steering and an extremely sturdy frame that can withstand the additional weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the best compact double stroller method to transport two kids who are at the edge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is a low-cost compact option that lets your oldest sit in the back and your younger one to walk or stand with you as you shop, eat out, and explore. This kind of stroller was not the most popular among our test subjects because it has flimsy frames and wobbly tires. Some have exposed rough fasteners or materials that aren't skin-friendly.

Furthermore the front seat is also small and shallow. 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're too thin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is surprisingly light and folds easily to fit in small trunks and cars. It can accommodate two infant car seats which is great for families with toddlers or young babies on the on the move.

Tandem strollers are more spacious than side-by-side strollers, making them a great option for urban residents. They can be difficult to navigate on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They occupy more space when folded than side by side models, which can be problems for those living in small apartments or homes.

Compact

If you have two children less than 5 years old a double stroller is a must-have piece of equipment. You can keep an eye on your toddler and take care of your infant using the double stroller. It also helps to save space in your car and lets you traverse the aisles of crowded supermarkets and parks as well as city streets with just one pair of hands.

If you're in the market for a light double stroller, you need to consider how you plan to make use of it. Some parents choose to purchase a convertible, single-to-double stroller when they have their first child, and then add a second seat as their family expands. While this may seem like a wise purchase at the time, we've observed that it works out better for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller designed specifically for their children's ages and stages.

The best compact double pushchair from birth strollers come in a variety of styles and features. They include ample storage space, cup holders for adults that hold multiple cups, handlebars that can be adjusted and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some models even have an integrated bassinet, making them ideal for newborns and infants. They are compact and fold flat. This makes them an excellent choice for parents who have little storage space.

Another aspect to consider when selecting a light double stroller is how it performs on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a hard getting around tight areas and climbing up curbs while others can take on more challenging terrain easily. For instance the jogging strollers come with special suspensions that help them glide over rough and concrete terrain without causing a lot of jostling.

It's also a good idea to determine the weight of each stroller before you purchase. The lighter the stroller is and the more comfortable it will be to push and carry. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller we tested, with a weight of close to 23 lbs. Most of the models that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
