Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers can be a lifesaver for families with two kids who have to move 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 only weighs 24 pounds when both child seats are attached. It folds down into a compact size 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 size, quality, and weight of a double stroller greatly affect how easy it is to push. The kind of wheels, tires and suspension, along with size and weight affects the ease with which a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. Of course the number of kids and the amount of stuff you have in them also affects how difficult or easy it is to push.

Side-byside models have two seats that are next to each other. They are considered to be more maneuverable than tandems and front-to-back models. The larger frame of the side-by-side makes it difficult to squeeze through standard doorways. A side-byside stroller isn't able to fit the car seat of your child comfortably, based on its height.

The seat backs of side-by-side strollers are typically lower than single strollers. This makes it difficult for older children to view the scenery or talk to their peers. If your children are of different ages, the seating arrangement might lead to sibling squabbles over who sits in which seat.

A tandem stroller is a good choice for siblings of similar ages. This kind of double stroller is more maneuverable and comes with an increased resale value than other types. A tandem stroller is more expensive than a model that has two seats.

If you're an avid runner and plan on using your stroller for long runs or walks it's a good idea to invest in a light double jogging stroller that has smooth suspension. These strollers have more robust and larger tires than standard double strollers and can handle off-road terrain, as well as pavement. They're usually a little heavier than the typical side-by-side stroller, but they're also much easier to maneuver and more stable.

Tandem

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

Tandem strollers have a narrower profile than side-by-side models. They are able to maneuver through tight spaces or in tight aisles of stores. They're not as easy to fold down as single-to-double models, and they can be heavy when packed with cargo and children.

A light double stroller must also feature a fold that can be done with one hand and a brake that is easy to use by a single parent, and padded straps around the waist and shoulders for comfort. We also like having a large, easy-to access under-seat storage basket and side and back pockets.

It comes with a large padding on the handlebar to make it easy to steer and strong frame that can withstand the additional weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child who's nearing the age of walking and a younger child who wants to join in, there's no way to get them both around without a double stroller. A double umbrella stroller provides the perfect, affordable solution that allows you to bring your child's oldest with you while you go shopping or eat out, or explore. Our test subjects didn't like this style of stroller, however, as it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed rough fasteners or materials that are not skin-friendly.

The front seat is also small and shallow. Parents have reported that their children slide out of it if they're not properly buckled in. And the 5-point harnesses can be a bit flimsy and can cause irritation to the skin. However, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is quite light and folds easily to fit in cars and small trunks. It is compatible with two infant car seats, which is great for families with toddlers or babies on the move.

Tandem strollers are more spacious than side-by-side options which makes them the ideal choice for urban residents. They aren't easy to navigate on grass, unpaved paths and curbs.

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.

Another aspect to consider when choosing a lightweight double buggy with car seat stroller is its performance on different surfaces and terrains.
