Lightweight Double Stroller

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

The lightweight twin stroller weighs only 24 lbs when 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 on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The size, quality, and weight of a double stroller significantly impact how easy it is to push. The kind of tires, wheels, and suspension, along with weight and size affect the ease at which a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. And, of course the number of children and the amount of things you put in them makes a difference in how difficult or easy it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers come with two seats next to each other and are generally considered to be more easy to navigate than tandem or front-to-back models. The longer frame of a side-by-side makes it difficult to fit through standard doorways. A side-by-side can't accommodate your child's car seat comfortably, based on its height.

Another issue with side-by-side strollers is that the seats are generally lower than those of single double stroller strollers, which can make it difficult for older kids to take in the landscape or converse with their peers. Seating arrangements can also cause conflicts between siblings when you have children of different ages.

On the other hand a tandem double buggy stroller can be a fantastic option for siblings who are similar in age. This kind of stroller usually has a high resale value and is more user-friendly than other double strollers. The only drawback is that a tandem stroller could be more expensive than a side by side model.

If you're a keen runners and plan to use your stroller for long runs or walks, it's worth investing in a lightweight double jogging stroller with smooth suspension. These strollers have more robust and larger tires than standard double strollers and are able to handle off-road terrain and pavement. They are generally heavier than the typical side by side double stroller-by-side however they are easier to maneuver and more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a fantastic example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is affordable and of high-end. It's also compatible with large selection of infant car seats which makes it a great option for twins.

Tandem

If your family is expanding with baby number two or twins, or you have a toddler and a younger infant there are plenty of options for a double stroller. If you're looking for twins that are side by side double stroller-by-side or a tandem front-to back model, you'll need to think about the size and maneuverability of each and how much storage space is available for bags and gear.

Tandem strollers typically have narrower designs than side-by-side strollers, so they may be more maneuverable in tight spaces or narrow aisles at stores. They're not as simple to fold down as single-to-double models, and are difficult to fold when laden with children and cargo.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our top choice for a lightweight tandem stroller that can be used in a variety of situations. It's a top choice for families with just one child. It comes with a toddler seat as well as a movable Rumble Seat that can be added later to accommodate an additional child (carriers sold separately). The seats are spacious and comfortable, with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is large with peekaboo windows. both seats can be reclined independently.

The Jogger City Select is another great option for a lightweight tandem. It's a stroller for jogging that's great for active families with two kids or parents who love to take their children to the park and hike. The seats are big and comfy, with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopies are a bit smaller than our other strollers that are lightweight, but they do have large, pop-out sunshades that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

Other important features to look for in a lightweight double stroller include a single-handed self-standing fold; a one-parent brake that is easy to use; and straps that are cushioned around the shoulders and waist for extra comfort. We also like having an ample, easy-to-access under-seat storage basket and pockets on the sides and back. Lastly, if you're going to be taking your kids out jogging regularly, consider a double jogger that's designed to be fast and agile with a wide cushioned handlebar for comfortable steering and an extremely sturdy frame that can handle the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child nearing the age of walking and a younger toddler who would like to join in, there's no way to get them to walk together without a double stroller. A double umbrella stroller is a low-cost, compact solution that lets your oldest sit back in the back and your youngest to stand or walk alongside you while you shop, dine out, and explore. This kind stroller wasn't a favorite among our testers because it has flimsy frames and wobbly tires. Some have exposed fasteners with rough edges and fabrics that aren't suitable for skin.

The front seat is narrow and slender. Parents have complained that their children could slide out of the front seat if they're 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 fairly lightweight and folds easily to fit in trunks, cars and small vehicles. And it accepts two infant car seats which is a great option for families with young babies or toddlers who are on the move.

Tandem strollers are a great option for those who live in cities and have to navigate in tight spaces and on sidewalks, as they often have more space than side-by-side options. They aren't easy to navigate on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. And they typically take up more storage space than side-byside models when folded, which could pose a problem for families who live in small homes or apartments.

Compact

A double stroller can be an essential piece of equipment if you have two kids less than 5 years old. You can monitor your toddler and take care of your infant while using the double stroller. It also helps to save space in your car and allows you to traverse the aisles of crowded supermarkets or parks and city streets with just one set of hands.

If you're shopping for a lightweight double stroller, it's important to think about how you intend to utilize it. Some parents opt for a single stroller that can be converted to double as they have a child, and then add another seat as their family grows. While this may appear to be a wise purchase at the time, we've discovered that it usually is more beneficial for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller that is specifically designed for their children's age and stages.

The most compact double strollers come in a variety configurations and features. They include ample storage, cup holders for adults that hold several cups, a movable handlebar and canopy with windows that peek out. Some of them even have an integrated bassinet that makes them perfect for newborns and infants. They are small in footprint and folds down to almost flat, making them an excellent option for parents with little storage space at home or when traveling.

When choosing a lightweight double-stroller, it is important to consider how it performs in different terrains and surfaces. Some strollers have a tough time maneuvering in tight spots and climbing up curbs while others can handle more challenging terrain easily. For instance certain strollers for jogging have special suspension that helps them glide over pavement and rough terrain without causing a lot of jostling.

Also, it's an excellent idea to know the weight of each stroller before you buy. The lighter the stroller is the easier it will be to push and carry. The lightest stroller that we tested was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs close to 23 pounds. In general, the majority of the strollers we suggest in this guide weigh between 30 and 40lbs.
