Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers are a godsend for families with two children who must get from point A to point B. These narrow strollers have independent reclining seats and easy-to-use sunshades.

This lightweight twin stroller only weighs 24lbs when both child seats are attached. It features an easy fold and a carry handle. This makes it easy to carry in the trunk of a car, or during a trip.

Side-by-Side

The dimensions, quality, and weight of a double stroller significantly impact how easy it is to push. In addition to the size and weight, the kind of tires, wheels and suspension also affect the ease with which a stroller can turn and moves in tight spaces. The number of children in the stroller as well as the amount you are able to fit in it will also impact the ease or difficulty it is to push.

Side-by-side models have two seats that are adjacent to each one. They are thought to be more maneuverable than tandems or front-to-back models. However, the wider frame of a stroller that is side-by-side often means it's harder to fit through standard doors. 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-byside strollers tend to be lower than single strollers. This can make it more difficult for older children to view the scenery or talk to their peers. Seating arrangements can cause conflicts between siblings when you have children of different age groups.

On the other side, a tandem stroller could be a fantastic option for siblings that are close in age. This kind of double stroller is more maneuverable and has more resales value than other models. The only downside is that a tandem stroller may be more expensive than a side-by-side model.

If you're a keen runner and are planning to take your stroller for long walks or runs it is worthwhile to invest in a light double stroller with smooth suspension. These strollers have larger and more durable wheels than regular double strollers and are able to handle off-road and pavement terrain. They're usually a little heavier than the standard side-by-side stroller, but they're also easier to maneuver and more stable.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is an excellent example of a light tandem stroller that is inexpensive and of top quality. It's also compatible with a wide range of infant car seats making it a good choice for twins.

Tandem

If your family is expanding with a baby number two or twins, or if you have a toddler and a younger infant, there are plenty of options for a double stroller. You'll need to take into consideration the size, mobility, and storage capacity of each model.

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

The UPPAbaby vista is our top option for a light tandem stroller that can be used in a variety of scenarios. It's a favorite among families with just one child. It includes a toddler seat and a modular Rumble Seat that can be added later for a second child (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large and comfortable, with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is large, has peekaboo windows and both seats can be reclined independently.

Another good choice for a light tandem is the Jogger City Select. This jogging stroller is perfect for active families with 2 kids or parents who enjoy taking their children on hikes and trails in parks. The seats are spacious and comfortable, with adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopy is smaller than our other lightweight double strollers. But, they have large pop-out shades that are SPF 50.

A lightweight double stroller should also have a foldable feature that can be done using just one hand and a brake that's easy to use by a single parent and padded straps around the waist and shoulders for comfort. We also prefer a large accessible under-seat basket, as well as the rear and side pockets to provide storage. Lastly, if you're going to take your kids out jogging regularly, consider a specialized double jogger that's made to be quick and agile, with a wide padding on the handlebar to make it easy to steer and an extremely sturdy frame that can withstand the additional weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child on the verge of walking and a younger toddler who wants to join in it, there's no way to move them both around without a double stroller. A double umbrella stroller is an affordable, compact solution that allows you to take your oldest child with you as you shop or eat out, or explore. Our test participants didn't enjoy this type of stroller however, as it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some even have exposed fasteners that are rough and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

Moreover, the front seat is also small and sloping. Some parents report that their children slide out of the seat if they are not properly buckled in. The 5-point harnesses can chafe the skin if they're too thin. However, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is surprisingly light and folds easily for transport in cars and small trunks. It is compatible with two infant car seats, which is ideal for families with toddlers, or for infants on the moving.

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

Our double stroller reviews will help you choose the right lightweight option for your family. If you're planning to use your stroller in crowded urban areas, it's crucial to choose one that's easy for you to steer to turn, push and turn. Families that intend to use their stroller less often can afford to invest more on a model with more features and seating options. If you're in the market for a lightweight double stroller with car seat stroller, don't hesitate to browse other brands in addition to our top picks. A lot of our top models are available in different colors, and many include extra features like a parent tray or foot brake.

Compact

If you have two children younger than 5 years old, a double stroller is a must-have piece of equipment. It allows you to keep an eye on your toddler and give attention to your infant. It also helps to save space in your car and allows you to navigate the crowded aisles of supermarkets or parks and city streets with just one set of hands.

If you're shopping for a lightweight double stroller, it's crucial to think about how you intend to make use of it. Some parents opt for a single stroller which can be transformed into a double once they have a child and then add a second seat as their family expands. This might seem like an ideal idea at the time but we've observed that families would be better off purchasing a light, double stroller made specifically for their child's stage and age.

The best double strollers for compacts come in a variety of styles and features. They come with plenty of storage space, cup holders for adults, multiple cups, a movable handlebar and canopy with peekaboo windows. Some models even have a bassinet that is built-in, making them ideal for babies and newborns. They are small in footprint and fold down almost flat, making them an ideal option for parents who have limited storage space at home or on the road.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller, you should also consider how it performs in different terrains and surfaces. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and up curbs while others can handle more challenging terrain. For instance certain strollers for jogging have special suspension that helps them glide across rough and paved ground without jostling the rider.

It's also a good idea to look at how much each stroller weighs before you buy. The lighter the stroller and the more comfortable it is to push and carry. The lightest stroller we tried was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs close to 23 lbs. In general, most of the strollers we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
