Lightweight Double Stroller

Double strollers are an absolute lifesaver when you have two kids and need to travel to your destination. These narrow strollers feature separate reclining seats and easy-to-use shade options.

This lightweight twin stroller only weighs 24lbs when both child seats are attached. It has a compact fold that stands on its own and 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 quality of a double-stroller can have a an impact on how easy it is to push. The kind of tires, wheels, and suspension, in addition to weight and size affect how easily a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. Also, the number of children and the amount of stuff you have in them also affects how difficult or simple it is to push.

Side-by-side models have two seats which are next to each other. They are thought to be easier to maneuver than tandems or front-to-back models. The larger frame of the side-by-side can make it difficult to squeeze through standard doors. A side-by-side stroller can't 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 can make it difficult for older children to view the scenery or talk to their peers. And, if your children are different in age, the seating arrangement might result in sibling fights about who sits in which seat.

On the other hand, a tandem stroller could be a great option for siblings that are close in age. This kind of double stroller is more movable and has a higher resale price than other types. A tandem stroller is more expensive than one with two seats side-by-side.

If you're an avid athlete and are planning to use your stroller on long walks or runs it is worthwhile to invest in a light double stroller that has a smooth suspension. These strollers come with 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 typical side-by-side stroller, however they're also much easier to maneuver and more stable.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 double tandem pushchair Stroller is a good example of a high-quality, lightweight, and affordable tandem stroller. It's also compatible with wide range of infant car seats making it a good option for twins.

Tandem

There are many options for double strollers if you have a family growing with twins or baby number two, or if there is an infant and a toddler. You'll need to consider the size, maneuverability and storage capacity of each model.

Tandem strollers usually have slimmer profile than side-byside strollers, so they may be more maneuverable in tight areas or in tight aisles at stores. However, they're not as easy to fold as single-to-double models and can be a hassle to carry around when filled with children and other items.

The UPPAbaby vista is our best twin stroller option for a light tandem double buggy stroller that can be used in a variety situations. It's a top choice for families with only one child. It comes with 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 also spaciously big and has windows that peek out, and both seats recline independently of one other.

Another option for a light tandem is the Jogger City Select. This stroller for jogging is ideal for active families with 2 kids or parents who enjoy taking their kids on hikes and trails in parks. The seats are big and comfy, with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopies are a bit smaller than those on our other strollers that are lightweight however, they do come with large, pop-out sunshades that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

Other key features to look for in a lightweight double stroller include a one-handed self-standing fold, a simple, one-parent brake; and straps that are padded around the shoulders and waist for extra comfort. We also like a spacious under-seat storage basket that is easy to access and the rear and side pockets to provide storage. If you're planning to take your children for a run regularly think about a double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a wide and comfortable handlebar that makes steering easy, and a sturdy frame to take the weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

A double pram buggy stroller is the best way to transport two children who are either on the verge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is a cheap compact solution that allows your eldest to sit in the back and your younger one to walk or stand alongside you while you shop, eat out and explore. Our testers didn't love this type of stroller however, because it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some have even exposed rough fasteners or fabrics that are not skin-friendly.

Moreover, the front seat is also small and sloping. Parents have stated that their children may slip out of the front seat if they are not properly buckled. And the 5-point harnesses are a bit thin, which can chafe bare skin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, however, is surprisingly light and folds easily to fit into small trunks and cars. It is compatible with two infant car seats which is ideal for families with toddlers or infants on the moving.

Tandem strollers are more spacious than side-by-side options, making them an ideal choice for urban residents. But they can be tough to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They take up more space when folded than side-byside models, which can be a problem for those with smaller homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you choose the right lightweight option for your family and you. If you're planning to use your stroller in busy urban areas, it's important to choose a model that is easy to steer, turn and push. Families who plan to use their stroller less often will be able to 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 explore other brands in addition to our top choices. A lot of our top models are available in different colors, and many include extra features like a parent tray or foot brake.

Compact

A double stroller is an essential piece of equipment when you have two children under the age of 5. You can keep an eye on your toddler and look after your infant while using the double stroller. It also helps to save space in your car and lets you traverse the aisles of crowded supermarkets and parks as well as city streets with only one pair of hands.

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, it's crucial to consider how you plan to use it. Some parents opt for a convertible, single-to-double stroller, when they have their first child, and then add another seat as their family grows. This may be an ideal idea at the time, but we've found that families benefit from purchasing a light, double stroller made specifically for their child's age and stage.

The best compact double strollers come in a variety of styles and features. They come with plenty of storage, cup holders for adults with multiple cups, a movable handlebar and canopies that have peekaboo windows. Some even come with an integrated bassinet, making them ideal for newborns and infants. They are small and fold up almost flat. This makes them a perfect option for parents with limited storage space.

When choosing a lightweight double pram buggy-stroller you must also be aware of how it performs in different terrains and surfaces. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight areas and up curbs, whereas others are able to handle more difficult terrain. For instance certain strollers for jogging have special suspension that helps them glide over rough and concrete ground without jostling the rider.

Finally, it's also an excellent idea to check out the weight of each stroller before purchasing. The lighter the stroller is, the easier it will be to push and carry around. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, with a weight of close to 23lbs. The majority of strollers that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
