Lightweight Double Stroller

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

This lightweight twin stroller only weighs 24 pounds when both child seats are attached. It has the ability to fold down small and has a carry handle. This makes it easy to transport in the trunk of a car, or during a trip.

Side-by-Side

The size, quality and weight of a double stroller significantly influence how easy it's to push. In addition to the size and weight the type of tires, wheels and suspension can affect the ease with which a stroller can turn and maneuvers in tight spaces. The number of children in the stroller and how much you are able to fit in it will also affect how easy or difficult it is to push.

Side-by-side models come with two seats which are next to each one. They are believed to be more maneuverable than tandems and front-to-back models. However, the wider frame of a side-byside stroller typically means that it is more 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 factor to consider with side-byside strollers is that their seat backs are typically lower than the ones on single double stroller strollers, which can make it difficult for older children to gaze out at the landscape or talk to their peers. Seating arrangements can also cause conflicts between siblings if you have children of different ages.

A tandem stroller is a good choice for siblings of similar age. This type of stroller typically has a higher resales value and is easier to navigate than other double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than one with two side-by-side seats.

If you're a runner and plan on using your stroller for long runs or walks it's a good idea to invest in a lightweight double jogging stroller, with a smooth suspension. These strollers come with larger and more durable wheels than normal double strollers, and can handle both pavement and off-road terrain. These strollers are typically heavier than standard side-by-side strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver and are more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller offers a great example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is inexpensive and of top quality. It's also compatible with wide range of infant car seats making it a good option for twins.

Tandem

If your family is expanding with a baby number two or twins, or you have a toddler as well as a younger infant, there are many options for a double stroller. You'll need to consider the size, maneuverability and storage space of each model.

Tandem strollers have a slimmer profile than side-by-side models. They are able to maneuver around crowded areas or in tight aisles of stores. However they're not as easy to fold as single-to-double models and can be cumbersome to carry around when filled with children and other items.

The UPPAbaby vista is our top choice for a lightweight tandem stroller that can be used in a variety of situations. It is a favorite among families with just one child. It comes with a toddler's seat that can be used with the stroller, as well as a modular Rumble Seat which can be used to add an additional child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large and comfortable with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also generously big and has peekaboo windows, and both seats recline independently of one other.

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

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

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child that's close to walking and a younger child who wants to join in, there's no way for you to get them both around without a double stroller. A double seat stroller umbrella stroller offers the perfect, affordable solution that allows you to bring your child's oldest with you on your shopping trip or eat out and explore. Our testers didn't love this kind of stroller however, as it is often flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some even have exposed rough fasteners or fabrics that are not skin-friendly.

Furthermore the front seat is also small and shallow. Some parents have reported that their kids slide right out of the seat if they are not properly buckled in. The 5-point harnesses can chafe the skin if too thin. However, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is fairly lightweight and folds easily to fit in cars and small trunks. It can accommodate two infant car seats which is perfect for families with toddlers or young infants on the moving.

Tandem strollers are a good option for those who live in cities and have to navigate in tight spaces and on sidewalks, since they typically offer more space than side-byside options. But they can be tough to maneuver on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They occupy more space when folded than side-by-side models, which can pose a problem for those with small apartments or homes.

Compact

It also saves space in your car and lets you brave crowded supermarket aisles or parks and urban streets with just one pair of hands.

When you're looking for a stroller that is lightweight and double-seat, it's important to think about how you intend to utilize it. Some parents opt for an adaptable single-to-double stroller for their first child. They then add another seat as their family grows. While this may seem like an appropriate purchase at the time, we've observed that it works out better for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller designed specifically for their children's age and stages.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller, it is important to take into consideration how it performs on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and up curbs while others are more suited to challenging terrain. Jogging strollers, for example, have special suspensions that help them move over rough terrain and pavement without jostling their rider.

It's also recommended to look at 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 close to 23 lbs. The majority of the strollers we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 pounds.
