Lightweight Double Stroller

Double strollers are a lifesaver when you have two children and need to get to your destination. These strollers are narrow and have separate seating and sunshades that are easy to use.

This stroller is lightweight and only weighs 24lbs when the child seats are connected. It comes with a compact fold and an e-handle. This makes it simple to carry in the trunk of a car or during a trip.

Side-by-Side

The size, quality and weight of a double stroller dramatically affect how easy it is to push. In addition to the size and weight the type of tires, wheels, and suspension affect the ease with which a stroller turns and moves through tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller and how much you are able to fit in it will also impact 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 easier to move than tandem or front-to back models. The larger frame of the side-by-side makes it difficult to pass through standard doors. A side-by-side stroller can't fit your child's car seat comfortably, depending on its height.

Another consideration with side-by-side strollers is that their seat backs tend to be lower than those of single strollers. This can make it difficult for older children to take in the landscape or converse with their peers. And, if your children are different ages, the seating arrangement might result in sibling fights over who sits in which spot.

A tandem stroller is an excellent choice for siblings of similar ages. This kind of double stroller is more maneuverable and comes with an increased resale value than other types. The only downside is that a tandem stroller can be more expensive than a side-by-side model.

If you're an avid athlete and plan to use your stroller for long runs or walks it's worth investing in a light double jogging twin stroller with a smooth suspension. These strollers feature larger and more durable tires than standard double strollers and are able to handle off-road terrain as well as pavement. These strollers are typically heavier than the typical side-by-side however they are easier to maneuver and safer.

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

Tandem

There are a myriad of options for double strollers for families 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 gear.

Tandem strollers generally have smaller profile than side-byside strollers and are therefore easier to maneuver in crowded spaces or narrow aisles in stores. However they're not as easy to fold as single double stroller-to-double models and aren't as easy to carry around when filled with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our top pick for an all-around lightweight double pushchair tandem stroller. It is a favorite among families with just one child. It includes a toddler seat that can be used with the stroller as well as a movable Rumble Seat that can be used to add another child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large comfortable and comfortable, and come with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also spaciously sized and includes windows that peek out, and both seats recline independently of each other.

The Jogger City Select is another good option for a lightweight tandem. It's a jogging stroller that's great for active families with two children or for parents who like to take their children out on trails and hikes. The seats are spacious and comfortable, with adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is a little smaller than our other lightweight double strollers. However, they have great-sized shades that pop out with SPF 50.

Other key features to look for in a light double stroller with infant car seat stroller include a one-handed, self-standing fold; a one-parent brake that is easy to use and straps that are padded around the waist and shoulders for extra comfort. We also like having the large, easy-to-access under-seat storage basket, as well as side and back pockets. If you plan to take your kids out jogging frequently you should consider the double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a wide, padded handlebar that makes steering simple and a sturdy frame that can handle the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the only method to transport two kids who are at the edge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is an inexpensive compact option that allows your eldest to sit back in the back and your youngest to stand or walk with you as you shop, eat out and explore. Our test subjects didn't like this type of stroller however, due to the fact that it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed fasteners that are rough and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is small and shallow. Parents have stated that their children may slip out of the front seat if not properly buckled. And the 5-point harnesses are a bit thin and can cause chafing on the skin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is, however, is relatively lightweight and can be folded easily to fit in small trunks and cars. It can accommodate two infant car seats which is great for families with toddlers or young babies who are on the moving.

Tandem strollers are more spacious than side-by-side strollers which makes them a great option for urban dwellers. However, they can be difficult to maneuver on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They occupy more space when folded than side-byside models, which can pose a problem for those with smaller homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you select the right lightweight option for you and your family. Those who will use their stroller regularly in crowded urban areas must look for one that is easy to steer, turn and push. Families who intend to use their strollers less often can afford to spend a bit more for a model that has more features and seating options. Don't hesitate to look at other brands if you're looking for a compact double-stroller. Many of our top models are available in a variety of colors, and a lot come with extras such as a parent tray or foot brake.

If you have two children younger than 5 years old, a double stroller is an essential piece of equipment. It allows you to keep an eye on your toddler and give attention to your infant. It saves space in the car and allows you only to use one hand when navigating crowded supermarket aisles and city streets.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller, you need to think about how you intend to utilize it. Some parents opt for a single stroller that can be made a double once they have a child, and then add a second seat as their family expands. While this may appear to be a wise purchase at the time, we've observed that it works out better for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller specifically made for their children's age and stages.

The most compact double strollers offer a variety of configurations and features, including ample storage as well as multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars, and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some even have a bassinet that is built-in which makes them perfect for infants and toddlers. They are small in footprint and fold down to nearly flat, which makes them a great option for parents with little storage space at home or while traveling.

Another thing to consider when selecting a light double stroller is its performance on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver in tight areas and up curbs, whereas others are more suited to challenging terrain. Certain strollers that jog, for example, have special suspensions that let them move over uneven terrain and pavement without tripping their user.

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