Lightweight Double Stroller

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

This lightweight twin stroller weighs just 24 lbs with the child seats in place. It folds compactly that stands on its own and a carry strap--perfect for schlepping in the trunk of your car or taking on vacation.

Side-by-Side

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

Side-by-side models have two seats that are adjacent to each other. They are believed to be easier to maneuver than tandems and front-to-back models. However, the larger frame of a stroller that is side-by-side usually means it's more difficult to fit through standard doors. A side-by-side can't accommodate the car seat of your child comfortably, based on its height.

Another issue with side-by-side strollers double strollers is that their seat backs tend to be lower than single strollers, which could make it difficult for older kids to take in the landscape or talk to their friends. If your children are different in age the seating arrangement could result in sibling fights over who sits in which position.

On the other hand a tandem stroller can be a great option for siblings that are close in age. This type of stroller generally has a high resale price and is much easier to maneuver than other double strollers. The only drawback is that a tandem stroller may be more expensive than a side-by-side model.

If you're an avid runners and plan to use your stroller for long walks or runs it's a good idea to invest in a lightweight Double Jogging Stroller (Ultfoms.Ru), with smooth suspension. These strollers are larger and more durable wheels than standard double strollers and can be used on both off-road and pavement terrain. They're generally a bit heavier than the standard side-by-side stroller, but they're also much more maneuverable and stable.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is an excellent example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is inexpensive and of high quality. It also works with a variety of infant car seats. This makes it an ideal 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 need to take into consideration the size, maneuverability and storage capacity of each model.

Tandem strollers have a slimmer profile than side-byside models. They may be easier to maneuver through crowded areas or narrow aisles of stores. However they're not as simple to fold as single-to-double models and can be a hassle to carry around when filled with children and other items.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our top option for a light tandem stroller that can be used in a variety of scenarios. It is a popular choice for families with only one child. It includes a toddler seat that can be used in conjunction with the stroller as well as a movable Rumble Seat which can be used for another child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large comfortable and have deep seat adjustments. The canopy is large, has peekaboo windows and both seats can be reclined independently.

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

A lightweight double stroller should also have a fold that can be accomplished by one hand and a brake that is easy to use by one parent and padded straps that wrap around the waist and shoulders for comfort. We also prefer a large, easy-to-access under-seat basket and the rear and side pockets to provide storage. If you're planning to take your kids for frequent jogging you should consider a double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a broad, padded handlebar that makes steering easy and a sturdy frame to support the extra weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child who's on the verge of walking, and a toddler who would like to join in it, there's no way to get them both around without a double travel buggy stroller. A double umbrella stroller offers the perfect, affordable solution that lets you bring your child's oldest with you while you go shopping or eat out, or explore. Our testers didn't love this kind of stroller however, because it is often flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some have even exposed rough fasteners or materials that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is also narrow and slender. Some parents have reported that their children slide out of it when not properly buckled in. The 5-point harnesses are a bit thin, which can chafe bare skin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is quite light and folds easily for transport in small trunks and cars. And it accepts two infant car seats which can be handy for families with young babies or toddlers on the move.

Tandem strollers are a good option for those who live in cities and have to navigate in small spaces and along sidewalks, as they often have more room than side-by-side options. However, they can be difficult to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They consume more space when folded than side by side models, which can be a problem for those with smaller homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you select the right lightweight option for your family and you. If you intend to use your stroller in crowded urban areas, it's crucial to choose a model that is easy for you to steer, turn and push. Families who intend to use their strollers less often may be able to spend a little more on a model that offers more features and seating options. Don't hesitate to look at other brands if looking for a lightweight double-stroller. Many of our top models are available in a variety of colors, and many come with extras such as a parent tray or foot brake.

Compact

A double stroller can be an essential piece of equipment for parents with two children under the age of 5. You can monitor your toddler and take care of your infant while using the double stroller. It helps save space in the car and allows you only to use one hand while walking through the crowded aisles of supermarkets and city streets.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller, it's important to consider how you plan to use it. Some parents choose a single-to-double stroller that can be converted to a double once they have a child, and then add another seat as their family expands. While this may seem like a wise purchase at the time, we've observed that it is better for families to invest in a light double stroller that is specifically designed for their children's age and stages.

The best compact double strollers double strollers come in a variety of styles and features. They include ample storage, cup holders for adults, several cups, handlebars that can be adjusted and canopy with peekaboo windows. Some models even have a built-in bassinet, making them ideal for newborns and infants. They have a small footprint and fold down to almost flat, making them a great option for parents who have little storage space at home or when traveling.

Another aspect to consider when choosing a light double stroller is its performance on various surfaces and terrain. Some strollers have a difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and climbing up curbs while others are able to handle more challenging terrain with ease. For instance the jogging strollers come with special suspensions that help them glide across rough and paved ground without causing any jolts to the rider.

It's also a good idea to measure the weight of each stroller before you purchase. The lighter the stroller, the easier it is to push and transport. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, with a weight of close to 23lbs. The majority of strollers that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 pounds.
