Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers can be a lifesaver for families with two kids who have to get from point A to point B. These strollers with narrow widths have independent reclining seats and easy-to-use sunshades.

This lightweight twin stroller weighs only 24 lbs when both kid seats attached. It has a compact fold and a carry handle. This makes it simple to store in the trunk of a car or when you go on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The weight, size, and quality of a double-stroller have a significant impact on how easy it is for you to push. In addition to the size and weight the type of tires, wheels and suspension can affect the ease with which a stroller turns and moves in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller and how much you have in it will also affect the ease or difficulty it is to push.

Side-by-side models come with two seats which are next to each one. They are considered to be more maneuverable than tandems and front-to-back models. The wider frame of the side-by-side stroller can make it difficult to pass through standard doors. A side-byside stroller isn't able to fit your child's car seat comfortably, depending on its height.

Another issue with side-by-side strollers is that the seats are generally lower than the ones on Single Double Stroller strollers. This can make it difficult for older children to gaze out at the landscape or converse with their peers. If your children are of different ages the seating arrangement may cause sibling rivalries over who gets to sit in which spot.

On the other side, a tandem stroller could be a great choice for siblings that are close in age. This type of stroller generally has a high resale price and is more user-friendly than other double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than a model with two seats side-by-side.

If you're an avid athlete 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 come with more robust and larger tires than standard double strollers and they can handle off-road terrain, as well as pavement. These strollers are typically heavier than the typical side-by-side but they are easier to maneuver and more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a fantastic example of a light tandem stroller that is affordable and of high quality. It's also compatible with a large selection 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 younger infant there are plenty of options for a double stroller. If you're looking for an asymmetrical twin or a tandem front-to-back model you'll need to think about the size and maneuverability of each, and also how much storage space is available for bags and other gear.

Tandem strollers usually have slimmer designs than side-by-side strollers which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces or through tight aisles at stores. However they're not as easy to fold as single-to-double models and aren't as easy to use when packed with children and other items.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our number one choice for a lightweight, all-around tandem stroller. It's a favorite among families with only one child. It comes with a toddler seat as well as a movable Rumble Seat that can be added later for an additional child (carriers sold separately). The seats are large, comfortable, and feature deep seat adjustments. The canopy is spaciously sized, has peekaboo windows and both seats can be reclined independently.

The Jogger City Select is another excellent option for a light tandem. This jogging stroller is perfect for families who have two children or parents who love taking their children on hikes and park trails. The seats are spacious and comfortable with adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopies are a bit smaller than our other double strollers that are light, but they do have nice-sized pop-out sunshades with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

Other features worth looking for in a lightweight double stroller are a one-handed self-standing fold, a one-parent brake that is easy to use and straps that are padded around the shoulders and waist for comfort. We also appreciate a spacious, easy-to-access under-seat basket and the rear and side pockets to provide storage. Also, if you're planning to take your kids on jogging trips regularly, you should consider an especial double jogger made to be quick and agile, with a wide padded handlebar for easy steering and a sturdy frame that can withstand the additional weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child that's close to walking, and a toddler who wants to join in it, there's no way to move them to walk 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 youngest to stand or walk with you as you shop, eat out, and explore. Our test participants didn't enjoy this type of stroller however, as it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed rough fasteners and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is narrow and slender. Some parents have reported that their children slide out of it if they're not properly buckled in. The 5-point harnesses can cause irritation to the skin if they're too thin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double however, is quite light and folds easily to fit into small trunks and cars. It can accommodate two infant car seats, which is ideal for families with toddlers or young infants on the move.

Tandem strollers offer more space than side-by-side options and are the ideal option for urban residents. But they can be tough to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They consume more space when folded than side-byside models, which can be a problem for those with small apartments or homes.

Our double stroller reviews will help you pick the right lightweight option for you and your family. If you intend to use your stroller in busy urban areas, it's crucial to choose a model that is easy to steer to turn, push and turn. Families who plan to use their stroller less frequently can afford to spend more on a model with more features and seating options. If you're shopping for a lightweight double stroller, don't be hesitant to browse other brands in addition to our top picks. Many of our top models are available in multiple colors, and many come with additional features such as a parent tray or foot brake.

Compact

A double stroller can be an essential piece of equipment when you have two children younger than 5 years old. It lets you keep an eye on your toddler and give attention to your infant. It also saves space in your car and allows you to traverse the aisles of crowded supermarkets and parks as well as urban streets with just one set of hands.

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

The best compact double strollers have a wide range of options and configurations that include ample storage space as well as multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars and canopies with windows that peek out. Some models even have a bassinet that is built-in which makes them perfect for infants and toddlers. They have a narrow footprint and fold down almost flat, making them an ideal option for parents who have little storage space at home or on the road.

When choosing a lightweight double-stroller, it is important to take into consideration how it performs on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and up curbs while others are more suited to challenging terrain. For instance, some jogging strollers have special suspension that helps them glide over pavement and rough ground without jostling the rider.

It's also a great idea to determine the weight of each stroller prior to you purchase. The lighter the stroller, the easier it is to push and move around. The lightest stroller we tried was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs close to 23 pounds. The majority of strollers that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 pounds.
