Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers can be a lifesaver for families with two kids who must get from point A point B. These strollers have reclined seats that are independent as well as easy-to-use shade.

This stroller is lightweight and weighs just 24 lbs with the child seats in place. 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 size, weight and the quality of a double-stroller can have a a significant impact on the ease for you to push. In addition to the size and weight the type of tires, wheels, and suspension affect how easily a stroller turns and moves in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller as well as the amount you are able to fit in it will also affect the ease or difficulty it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers have two seats that are next to each other and are generally considered to be more easy to move than tandem or front-to back models. However, the wider frame of a side-byside stroller often means it's harder to pass through standard doors. And, depending on the height of your children car seats, a side by side stroller may not be able to fit them comfortably.

The seat backs of side-byside strollers are typically lower than single strollers. This makes it difficult for older children to see the scenery or talk to their peers. Seating arrangements can also result in disputes among siblings if you have children of different age groups.

On the other hand a tandem stroller can be a fantastic option for siblings who are similar in age. This type of stroller typically has a high resale value and is much easier to maneuver than many other types of double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than a model with two side-by-side seats.

If you're an avid runner and intend to use your stroller on long runs or walks, it is worth investing in a compact double stroller with smooth suspension. These strollers come with larger and more robust wheels than standard double strollers and can handle off-road and pavement terrain. They're generally a bit heavier than the average side-by-side stroller, but they're also much easier to maneuver and more stable.

The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Pushchair: Lightweight Stroller Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a great example of a quality lightweight, affordable tandem stroller. It's also compatible with a wide variety of infant car seats which makes it a great option for twins.

Tandem

There are a myriad of options for double strollers if you have a family growing with twins or a baby number two, or if there is two children, a toddler and an infant. 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 dimensions and maneuverability of each, and also how much storage space is available for bags and other equipment.

Tandem strollers have a narrower profile than side-by-side models. They can be more convenient to maneuver through crowded areas or narrow aisles of stores. They're not as simple to fold as single-to-double models, and can be heavy when packed with children and cargo.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our number one choice for a lightweight, all-around tandem stroller. It's a favorite of families with just one child. It comes with an included toddler seat as well as a movable Rumble Seat that can be added later to accommodate a second child (carriers sold separately). The seats are spacious and comfortable, with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is generously sized with peekaboo windows. both seats can be reclined independently.

Another good choice for a light tandem is the Jogger City Select. It's a jogging stroller that's ideal for active families with two kids or parents who love to take their kids to the park and hike. The seats are spacious and comfortable, with adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is smaller than our other light double strollers. But, they have nice sized pop-out shades with SPF 50.

Other important features to look for in a light double stroller are a one-handed, self-standing fold; a simple, one-parent brake 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. If you're planning to be taking your kiddos out jogging regularly, consider a double jogger that's designed 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 handle the extra weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the best way to transport two children who are on the verge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is the perfect, affordable solution that allows you to bring your child's oldest with you on your shopping trip, eat out, and explore. Our test subjects didn't like this kind of stroller however, because it has flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed fasteners that are rough and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

Furthermore the front seat is also small and shallow. Parents have complained that their children could slip out of the front seat if they are not properly buckled. And the 5-point harnesses are thin and can cause chafing on the skin. However, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is surprisingly light and folds easily for transport in small trunks and cars. It also accepts two infant car seats, which is a great option for families with infants or toddlers on the move.

tandem double stroller strollers are more spacious than side-by-side strollers which makes them the ideal option for urban dwellers. However, they can be difficult to navigate on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They consume more space when folded than side by side models, which could be a problem for those with small homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you select the right lightweight option for your family. If you intend to use your stroller in congested urban areas, it's crucial to find one that is easy 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. Don't hesitate to look at other brands if looking for a lightweight double-stroller. Many of our top models are available in different colors, and many come with additional features such as a parent tray or foot brake.

Compact

If you have two children less than 5 years old a double stroller is an essential piece of gear. You can keep an eye on your toddler and look after your infant with the double stroller. It saves space in the car and allows you only to use one hand while you are navigating the aisles of crowded supermarkets and city streets.

If you're shopping for a compact double stroller, it's important to think about how you intend to use it. Some parents opt for a single-to-double stroller that can be converted to GYMAX Double Seat Stroller: Adjustable Push Handle Pram as they have their child, and then add a second seat as their family grows. This may be an ideal idea at the time but we've found that families are better off investing in a light double stroller made specifically for their child's stage and age.

The best compact double strollers offer a variety of features and configurations that include ample storage space, multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars, and canopies with windows that peek out. Some models even have a bassinet that is built-in making them suitable for babies and newborns. They are small in footprint and fold down nearly flat, making them a great choice for parents with little storage space at home or on the road.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller you must also be aware of how it performs in different types of terrain and surfaces. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and up curbs, while others are more suited to challenging terrain. For instance, some jogging strollers have special suspensions that allow them to glide over pavement and rough ground without causing any jolts to the rider.

It's also a great idea to measure the weight of each stroller before you buy. The lighter the stroller is the easier it is to push and carry. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller we tested, weighing around 23 pounds. The majority of the strollers we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
