Lightweight Double Stroller

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

The lightweight twin buggy stroller weighs just 24 lbs with the child seats in place. It features the ability to fold down small and has a carry handle. This makes it simple to store in the trunk of a car or during a trip.

Side-by-Side

The size, weight, and quality of a double-stroller have an impact on the ease for you to push. In addition to the size and weight, the kind of wheels, tires, and suspension also affect the ease with which a stroller can turn and moves in tight spaces. And, of course, the number of children and the amount of things you have in them also affects how hard or easy it is to push.

Side-by-side models have two seats that are adjacent to each other. They are considered to be more maneuverable than tandems or front-to-back models. The longer frame of a side-by-side stroller can make it difficult to squeeze through standard doors. Also, depending on the height of your kids' car seats, a side-by-side stroller might not be able accommodate them comfortably.

The seat backs of side-byside strollers are usually lower than single strollers. This makes it difficult for older children to look at the landscape or talk to their friends. And, if your children are of different ages the seating arrangement could result in sibling fights over who sits in which spot.

A tandem stroller is a good option for siblings of similar age. This kind of double stroller is more movable and has a higher resale price than other types. The only downside is that a tandem stroller can be more expensive than a side-byside model.

If you're an avid runner and are planning to use your stroller on long walks or runs it is worth investing in a light double stroller that has a smooth suspension. These strollers come with larger and more robust wheels than normal double strollers, and can handle both pavement and off-road terrain. They are generally heavier than standard side-byside strollers but they are easier to maneuver and safer.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a good example of a top-quality light, compact, and affordable tandem stroller. It's also compatible with large selection of infant car seats making it a good 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 an infant and a toddler. 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 how much storage space is available for bags and gear.

Tandem strollers have a slimmer profile than side-by-side models. They can be more convenient to maneuver through tight spaces or in tight aisles of stores. They're not as easy to fold as single-to Double Prams With Shock-Absorbing Suspension models, and can be heavy when packed with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby vista is our top option for a light tandem stroller that can be used in a variety situations. It's a favorite among families with just one child. It includes a toddler seat as well as a modular Rumble Seat that can be added later for a second child (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large comfortable and have deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also generously sized and includes peekaboo windows. Both seats recline independently of each other.

Another good choice for a light tandem is the Jogger City Select. It's a jogging stroller that's great for active families with two kids or for parents who like to take their kids to the park and hike. The seats are spacious and comfortable with adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopies are a bit smaller than our other lightweight double strollers, but they do have 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; an easy-to-use, one-parent brake; and straps that are cushioned around the shoulders and waist to ensure comfort. We also like having the large, easy-to-access under-seat storage basket, as well as side and back pockets. If you're planning to be taking your kiddos on jogging trips regularly, you should consider an especial double jogger designed to be fast and agile, with a wide padding on the handlebar to make it easy to steer and a sturdy frame that can withstand the additional weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child who's on the verge of walking and a younger toddler who wants to join in, there's no way to get them around together without a double stroller. A double umbrella stroller provides the perfect, affordable solution that allows you to bring your child's oldest with you as you shop or eat out, or explore. This kind of stroller was not one of our testers' favorites because of its flimsy frames and wobbly tires. Some have exposed rough fasteners and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is also narrow and slender. Parents have reported that their children slide right out of it if they're not properly secured. The 5-point harnesses are a bit thin and can cause irritation to the skin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is fairly lightweight 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 young babies or toddlers on the go.

Tandem strollers are a good option for those who live in cities and must navigate in tight spaces and on sidewalks, since they typically have more space than side-by-side options. They can be difficult to navigate on grass, unpaved pathways and curbs. And they typically take up more storage space than side-by-side models when folded. This can be a problem for families who live in small apartments or homes.

Whether you're looking for a tandem stroller, or side-by-side buggies, our double stroller reviews can help you choose the best lightweight option for your family's requirements and budget. People who frequently use their stroller in crowded urban areas should focus on finding one that's easy to steer, turn and push. Families who are planning to use their strollers more infrequently can afford to spend a bit more for a model that offers more features and seating options. You shouldn't be afraid to look at other brands if you're looking for a compact double-stroller. A lot of our top models are available in multiple colors, and some come with extras such as an adult tray or a foot brake.

Compact

If you have two kids less than 5 years old a double stroller is an essential piece of gear. It allows you to keep one eye on your toddler while tending to your infant. It also helps to save space in your car and allows you to navigate the crowded aisles of supermarkets, parks, and city streets with just one set of hands.

If you're in search of an easy-to-use double stroller, it's important to think about how you intend to make use of it. Some parents choose to purchase a convertible, single-to-double stroller, when they have their first child. They then add an additional seat as their family grows. This may be a good idea at the time, but we've found that families are better off investing in a light double stroller designed specifically for their child's stage and age.

The most double strollers that are compact offer a variety of configurations and features, including ample storage, 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 infants and toddlers. They are compact and fold up almost flat. This makes them a great option for parents with limited storage space.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller you must also take into consideration how it performs on different types of terrain and surfaces. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and up curbs, while others are able to handle more difficult terrain. Certain strollers that jog are for instance equipped with special suspensions that help them navigate across rough surfaces and pavements without causing any friction to their user.

It's also a good idea to determine the weight of the strollers before you purchase. The lighter the stroller, the easier it is to push and transport. The lightest stroller we tried was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs in at 23 pounds. The majority of the strollers we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
