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 narrow strollers feature reclined seats that are independent as well as easy-to-use shades.

The lightweight twin stroller weighs just 24 lbs with the two child seats attached. 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 size, weight and the quality of a double stroller have a significant impact on how easy it is to push. The type of tires, wheels and suspension, as well as weight and size affect the ease at which a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller and the amount of you have in it will also affect how easy or difficult it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers feature two seats that are next to one another and are generally considered to be more easy to maneuver than tandem or front-to-back models. The wider frame of the side-by-side can make it difficult to pass through standard doors. In addition, based on the height of your kids car seats, a side-by-side stroller might not be able to accommodate them comfortably.

The seat backs on side-by-side strollers tend to be lower than single strollers. This makes it difficult for older children to see the surroundings or converse with their peers. Seating arrangements can also cause conflicts between siblings if 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 high resale value and is easier to navigate than other double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than one that has two seats.

If you're a runners and plan to use your stroller for long walks or runs, it's worth investing in a lightweight double jogging stroller that has a smooth suspension. These strollers have more robust and larger tires than standard double strollers, and they can handle off-road terrain as well as pavement. They are generally heavier than standard side-by-side strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver and are more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a good example of a high-quality light, compact, and affordable tandem stroller. It is also compatible with a variety of infant car seats. This makes it a fantastic 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 younger infant, there are many options 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 think about the size and maneuverability of each, and the amount of storage space available for bags and gear.

Tandem strollers generally have smaller profiles than side-by-side models and are therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces or narrow aisles in stores. However they're not as easy to collapse as single-to-double models and can be cumbersome 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 situations. It's a favorite of families with just one child. It comes with a toddler seat and a modular Rumble Seat that can be added later on for a second child (carriers sold separately). The seats are spacious and comfortable with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also generously sizeable and features peekaboo windows. Both seats recline independently of one other.

Another option for a light tandem is the Jogger City Select. It's a jogging stroller great for active families with two children or parents who want to take their children out on trails and hikes. The seats are spacious and comfy, with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is a little smaller than the ones on our other strollers that are lightweight, but they do have 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; an easy-to-use, one-parent brake; and straps that are padded around the waist and shoulders for extra comfort. We also like a spacious accessible under-seat basket, as well as side and rear pockets for storage. If you plan to take your kids for frequent jogging, consider a double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a wide and comfortable handlebar that makes steering simple, and a sturdy frame that can support the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child who's nearing the age of walking and a younger toddler who wants to join in, there's no way to get them to walk together without a double stroller. A double umbrella stroller is a low-cost compact solution that lets your oldest sit and stand double stroller in the back, and your youngest to stand or walk next to you as you shop, dine out and explore. Our testers didn't love this style of stroller, however, due to the fact that it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed fasteners with rough edges and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is small and shallow. Some parents report that their children slide right out of it if they're not properly buckled in. The 5-point harnesses could irritate the skin if they're too thin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is quite light and folds easily to fit in small trunks and cars. It is compatible with two infant car seat, which is great for families with toddlers or young babies who are on the moving.

Tandem strollers offer more space than side-by-side options, making them a great choice for urban people. But they can be tough to navigate on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They also typically take up more storage space than side-by-side models when folded, which could pose an issue for families living in smaller homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you choose the best lightweight option for you and your family. If you intend to use your stroller in crowded urban areas, you need to find one that is easy for you to steer to turn, push and turn. Families who intend to use their strollers less often can afford to invest more on a model that comes with more features and seating options. You shouldn't be afraid to look at other brands if looking for a lightweight double-stroller. A lot of our top models are available in multiple colors, and a lot come with additional features such as the parent tray and foot brake.

Compact

A double stroller can be an essential piece of equipment for parents with two children under the age of 5. It lets you keep an eye on your toddler while attending to your infant. 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 lightweight double stroller, it's important to consider how you plan to make use of it. Many parents choose an adaptable, single-to-stokke double stroller stroller when they have their first child. They then add an additional seat as their family expands. Although this might seem like a wise purchase at the time, we have discovered that it usually is better for families to invest in a lightweight double buggy stroller designed specifically for their children's age and stages.

The most compact double strollers come in a variety of styles and features. They have plenty of storage space, cup holders for adults that hold several cups, a movable handlebar and canopies that have peekaboo windows. Some even come with an integrated bassinet which makes them perfect for newborns and babies. They are small in footprint and fold down to almost flat, making them a great option for parents with limited storage space at home or on the road.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller, you should also take into consideration how it performs on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a hard getting around tight areas and climbing over curbs, while others are able to handle more challenging terrain easily. Jogging strollers include special suspensions that let them navigate over uneven terrain and pavement without tripping their rider.

It's also recommended to look at the weight of each stroller before you buy. The lighter the stroller and the more comfortable it will be to push and carry. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, with a weight of close to 23 lbs. In general, the majority of the strollers we suggest in this guide fall between 30 and 40lbs.
