Lightweight Double Stroller

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

The lightweight twin stroller weighs just 24 lbs with both kid seats attached. It features an easy fold and a carry handle. This makes it simple to carry in the trunk of a car or when you go on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The size, weight, and quality of a double stroller have significant influence on the ease for you to push. In addition to the size and weight, the kind of tires, wheels and suspension can affect how easily a stroller turns and moves in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller and how much you have in it will also impact 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 easier to move than tandem or front-to back models. However, the larger frame of a side-byside stroller often means it's harder to pass through standard doors. Also, depending on the height of your kids' car seats, a side-byside stroller may not be able accommodate them comfortably.

Another factor to consider with side-byside strollers is that the seat backs are typically lower than the ones on single strollers, which could make it difficult for older kids to gaze out at the landscape or talk to their friends. Seating arrangements can lead to disputes between siblings if you have children of different ages.

A tandem stroller is an excellent option for siblings of similar ages. This kind of stroller usually has a high resale price and is much easier to maneuver than many other types of double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than one that has two seats.

If you are an avid runner, and plan to take your stroller for long runs or walks, it is worthwhile to invest in a lightweight double Buggy travel System stroller that has smooth suspension. These strollers are larger and more durable wheels than regular double strollers and are able to handle off-road and pavement terrain. They're generally a bit heavier than the average side-by-side stroller. However, they're also much easier to maneuver and are more stable.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a good example of a top-quality lightweight, affordable tandem stroller. It also works with many infant car seats. This makes it a fantastic choice for twins.

Tandem

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

Tandem strollers typically have narrower profile than side-byside strollers, so they may be more maneuverable in tight spaces or through tight aisles at retail stores. However, they're not as easy to fold down as single-to-double strollers and can be a hassle to carry around when filled with children and cargo.

The UPPAbaby Vista is a top option for a light, all-around tandem stroller. It is a favorite among families with just one child. It comes with a toddler's seat that can be used in conjunction with the stroller, as well as a modular Rumble Seat that can be used for an additional child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are spacious, comfortable, and feature deep seat adjustments. The canopy is generously sized with peekaboo windows. both seats can be reclined independently.

The Jogger City Select is another excellent option for a light tandem. This jogging stroller is great for active families with 2 children or parents who enjoy taking their kids on hikes and park trails. The seats are comfortable and spacious with adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is a little smaller than our other strollers that are lightweight however, they do come with nice-sized pop-out sunshades with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

A light double stroller must also have a foldable feature that can be completed with one hand and a brake that's easy to use by one parent, and padded straps around the waist and shoulders to provide comfort. We also like a spacious accessible under-seat basket, as well as side and rear pockets for storage. If you're planning to be taking your kiddos out jogging regularly, consider an especial double jogger made to be quick and agile. It comes with a large cushioned handlebar for comfortable steering and strong frame that can support the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child on the verge of walking and a younger toddler who would like to join in, there's no way for you to get them around together without a double stroller. A double umbrella stroller is a low-cost, compact solution that lets your oldest sit in the back, and your younger one to walk or stand alongside you while you shop, eat out and explore. Our test subjects didn't like this kind of stroller however, as it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed fasteners with rough edges and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

Moreover the front seat is small and sloping. Parents have reported that their children can slip out of the front seat if not properly buckled up. The 5-point harnesses can cause irritation to the skin if they're too thin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is surprisingly light and folds easily to fit in trunks, cars and small vehicles. It can accommodate two infant car seats which is perfect for families with toddlers, or for babies who are on the 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, since they typically offer more space than side-byside alternatives. However, they can be difficult to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They occupy more space when folded than side-by-side models, which can pose a problem for those with small homes or apartments.

Those who will utilize their stroller frequently in crowded urban areas should focus on finding one that is easy to steer, turn and push.

If you're in the market for a light double stroller, don't be afraid to explore other brands in addition to our top choices. A lot of our top models are available in multiple colors, and many include extra features like an adult tray or a foot brake.

Compact

If you have two kids less than 5 years old a double stroller is a must-have piece of equipment. It allows you to keep an eye on your toddler while attending to your infant. It helps save space in the car and allows you to use one hand while walking through the crowded aisles of supermarkets and city streets.

If you're in the market for a compact double stroller, you need to think about how you're going to utilize it. Some parents choose a single to double pushchair-to-double stroller which can be transformed into a double stroller with infant car seat when they have their child, and then add a seat as their family expands. This may be an excellent idea at the time, but we've found that families would be better off investing in a light double stroller designed specifically for their child's age and stage.

The most compact double strollers come with a variety of features and configurations that include ample storage space and cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars, and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some even have an integrated bassinet which makes them perfect for infants and toddlers. They are small double buggy in footprint and fold down to nearly flat, making them an ideal choice for parents with limited storage space at home or on the road.

Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a lightweight double stroller is its performance on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a hard getting around tight areas and getting up curbs, while others are able to handle more challenging terrain easily. For instance, some jogging strollers have special suspensions that allow them to glide over rough and concrete terrain without causing a lot of jostling.

Finally, it's also an excellent idea to check out how much each stroller weighs before you buy. The lighter the stroller, the easier it is to push and move around. The lightest stroller we tried was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, that weighs around 23 lbs. The majority of strollers that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
