Lightweight Double Stroller

Double strollers can be a lifesaver when you have two kids and need to travel to your destination. These strollers have reclined seats that are independent as well as easy-to-use shades.

This lightweight twin stroller weighs just 24 pounds with the child seats in place. It folds compactly that stands on its own and a carry strap--perfect for schlepping in the trunk of your car, or on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The dimensions, quality, and weight of a double stroller dramatically impact how easy it is to push. The type of tires, wheels, and suspension, as well as weight and size affect how easily a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. The number of children in the stroller and how much you have in it will also impact the ease or difficulty it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers have two seats next to one another and are generally considered easier to move than tandem or front-to back models. However, the larger frame of a side-byside stroller usually means it's more difficult to fit through standard doors. And, depending on the height of your children' car seats, a side by side stroller might not be able to accommodate them comfortably.

The seat backs of side-by-side strollers tend to be lower than single strollers. This can make it difficult for older children to view the surroundings or converse with their peers. If your children are different ages, the seating arrangement might result in sibling fights about who sits in which spot.

On the other hand, a tandem stroller can be a great option for siblings that are close in age. This kind of stroller usually has a high resale price and is easier to navigate than many other types of double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than one with two side-by-side seats.

If you are an avid athlete and intend to take your stroller for long walks or runs it is worthwhile to invest in a lightweight 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 and pavement. They are generally heavier than standard side-by-side strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver and more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller offers a great example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is affordable and of top quality. It also works with many infant car seats. This makes it a fantastic choice for twins.

Tandem

There are many options for double strollers if your family is growing with twins or a baby number two, or if there is two children, a toddler and an infant. Whether you're looking for an asymmetrical twin strollers for newborns or a tandem front-to-back model, you'll need to consider the dimensions and maneuverability of each, and also the amount of storage space available for bags and gear.

Tandem strollers typically have narrower designs than side-by-side strollers and are therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces or narrow aisles in stores. They are not as easy to fold as single-to-double models, and are cumbersome when loaded with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby Vista is a top choice for a lightweight, all-around tandem stroller. It is a popular choice for families with only one child. It comes with a toddler seat that can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a modular Rumble Seat that can be added for another child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large comfortable and comfortable, and come with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is generously sized and has windows that peek out. both seats can be reclined independently.

The Jogger City Select is another good option for a lightweight tandem. It's a jogging stroller ideal for families with two children or parents who love to take their children to the park and hike. The seats are big and comfortable, with adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is a little smaller than our other lightweight double strollers however, they do come with great-sized sunshades that pop out with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

Other features worth looking for in a light double stroller include a one-handed self-standing fold; an easy-to-use, one-parent brake; and straps that are padded around the waist and shoulders for comfort. We also appreciate a large, easy-to access under-seat storage basket, as well as side and back pockets. If you're planning on taking your kids for frequent jogging, consider the double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a broad and comfortable handlebar that makes steering easy, and a sturdy frame to support the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller with bassinet stroller is the only way to transport two children who are at the edge or walking. A double twin umbrella stroller stroller offers a compact, inexpensive solution that lets you bring your child's oldest with you on your shopping trip or eat out and explore. Our test participants didn't enjoy this kind of stroller however, due to the fact that it has flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed fasteners with rough edges and fabrics that aren't suitable for skin.

Furthermore, the front seat is also small and shallow. Some parents have reported that their kids slide right out of it if they're not properly secured. And the 5-point harnesses are a bit thin and can cause irritation to the skin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is, however, is relatively lightweight and folds easily to fit into small trunks and cars. It is compatible with two infant car seat, which is great for families with toddlers or babies who are on the on the move.

Tandem strollers are a great option for urban dwellers who have to navigate in tight spaces and on sidewalks, since they typically have more space than side-by-side alternatives. But they can be tough to maneuver on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They typically occupy more storage space than side-byside models when folded, which could be a problem for families who live in small homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you pick the right lightweight option for your family. If you're planning to use your stroller in congested urban areas, it's crucial to find one that is easy to steer, turn and push. Families who intend to use their strollers less often may be able to spend a little more on a model that offers more features and seating options.

A lot of our top models are available in different colors, and a lot come with extras such as a parent tray or foot brake.

Compact

A double stroller can be an essential piece of equipment if you have two kids less than 5 years old. It allows you to keep an eye on your toddler and give attention to your infant. It also frees up space in your car and allows you to traverse the aisles of crowded supermarkets, parks, and urban streets with just one set of hands.

If you're shopping for a compact double stroller, you need to think about how you're going to use it. Some parents opt for a single stroller that can be made a double once they have a child and then add a seat as their family grows. Although this might seem like an ideal purchase at the time, we have discovered that it usually works out better for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller designed specifically for their children's ages and stages.

The most double strollers for compact size come with a variety of options and configurations that include ample storage space, multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars and canopies that have peekaboo windows. Some even come with a bassinet built in which makes them perfect for babies and newborns. They are small and fold flat. This makes them a perfect option for parents with limited storage space.

Another thing to consider when choosing a light double stroller is how it performs on different surfaces and terrain. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and up curbs, while others are able to handle more difficult terrain. For instance certain strollers for jogging have special suspensions that help them glide across rough and paved ground without jostling the rider.

It's also a good idea to measure the weight of the strollers before you purchase. The lighter the stroller is, the simpler it is to push and carry around. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, weighing close to 23lbs. Most of the models that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 pounds.
