Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers are a godsend for families with two kids who need to move from point A to point B. These narrow strollers have independent reclining seats and easy-to-use sunshades.

This lightweight twin stroller only weighs 24lbs when the child seats are connected. It has an easy fold and an easy-to-carry handle. This makes it simple to store in the trunk of a car or on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The dimensions, quality, and weight of a double stroller greatly affect how easy it is to push. The kind of wheels, tires and suspension, as well as weight and size affect the ease with which a double buggy travel system stroller can move and turn in tight spaces. And, of course the number of children and the amount of things you keep in them makes a difference in how difficult or simple it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers have two seats next to one another and are generally considered easier to maneuver than tandem or front-to-back models. However, the bigger frame of a side-by-side stroller often means it's harder to pass through standard doors. A side-by-side can't accommodate the car seat of your child comfortably, depending on its height.

The seat backs of side-byside strollers tend to be lower than single strollers. This can make it harder for older children to see the landscape or talk to their peers. And, if your children are different in age, the seating arrangement might result in sibling fights about who sits in which seat.

A tandem stroller is a good option for siblings of similar age. This kind of double stroller is more maneuverable and comes with a higher resale price than other models. A tandem stroller is more expensive than a model with two side-by-side seats.

If you're a athlete and plan to use your stroller for long walks or runs it's worth investing in a lightweight double jogging stroller that has a smooth suspension. These strollers are larger and more durable wheels than standard double strollers and can be used on both off-road and pavement terrain. They're generally a bit heavier than the average side-by-side stroller, however they're also much more maneuverable and stable.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is an excellent example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is affordable and of top quality. It's also compatible with a wide variety of infant car seats which makes it a great choice for twins.

Tandem

If your family is growing with the addition of a second hand double buggy baby or twins, or if you have a toddler and younger infant There are plenty of options for a double stroller. You'll have to think about the size, mobility, and storage capacity of each model.

Tandem strollers generally have smaller profile than side-byside strollers, so they may be more maneuverable in tight spaces or through tight aisles at retail stores. They are not as easy to fold down as single-to-double models, and they can be heavy when packed with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our top choice for a lightweight, all-around tandem stroller. It's a top choice for families with one child and comes with a toddler seat and a modular Rumble Seat that can be added later for another child (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large comfortable and have deep seat adjustments. The canopy is spaciously sized, has peekaboo windows and both seats can be reclined independently.

Another great option for a lightweight tandem is the Jogger City Select. This stroller for jogging is ideal for families that have active children or parents who enjoy going on hikes with their kids and park trails. The seats are large and comfy, with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopy is a little smaller than the ones on our other lightweight pushchairs double strollers, but they do have nice-sized pop-out sunshades with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

A lightweight double stroller should also feature a fold that can be accomplished using just one hand and a brake that is easy to use by one parent, and padded straps around the waist and shoulders to provide comfort. We also prefer a large accessible under-seat basket, as well as the rear and side pockets to provide storage. If you plan to take your children for a run regularly think about the double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a wide and comfortable handlebar that makes steering simple and a sturdy frame that can support the extra weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child nearing the age of walking and a younger child who wants to join in, there's no way for you to get them to walk together without a double stroller. A double umbrella stroller is a cheap compact solution that allows your oldest to sit in the back, and your younger one to walk or stand next to you as you shop, eat out, and explore. This type stroller wasn't a favorite among our testers because it has flimsy frames and wobbly tires. Some have exposed fasteners that are rough and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is 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 be a bit flimsy and can cause irritation to the skin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double however, is relatively lightweight and can be folded easily to fit in small trunks and cars. It also accepts two infant car seats, which can be useful for families with young babies or toddlers on the move.

Tandem strollers provide more space than side-by-side options, making them a great option for urban people. They aren't easy to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They consume more space when folded than side-byside models, which could be an issue for those who live in small homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you pick the best lightweight option for your family. For those who use their stroller regularly in urban areas with a lot of traffic must look for one that is easy to turn, steer and push. Families who are planning to use their strollers less often may be able to spend a bit more on a model that offers more features and seating options. If you're in the market for a lightweight double stroller, don't be afraid to explore other brands in addition to our top choices.

Compact

A double stroller can be an essential piece of equipment if you have two kids younger than 5 years old. It allows you to keep an eye on your toddler while tending to your infant. It reduces the space in your car and allows you to use one hand when navigating crowded supermarket aisles and city streets.

If you're in the market for a compact double pushchairs stroller, it's important to think about how you intend to utilize it. Some parents opt for a single-to-double stroller which can be transformed into double as they have their child, and then add a seat as their family expands. Although this might seem like an ideal purchase at the time, we have observed that it is better for families to invest in a light double stroller specifically made for their children's age and stages.

The most compact double strollers come in a variety of styles and features. They come with plenty of storage space, cup holders for adults with multiple cups, handlebars that can be adjusted and canopies that have peekaboo windows. Some models even have a bassinet built in, making them ideal for babies and newborns. They are small and fold almost flat. This makes them a great option for parents with little storage space.

Another aspect to consider when selecting a light pushchair double stroller is how it performs on different surfaces and terrain. Some strollers have a difficult getting around tight areas and climbing over curbs, while others can handle more challenging terrain easily. For instance the jogging strollers come with special suspension that helps them glide over pavement and rough ground without jostling the rider.

It's also a great idea to check the weight of the strollers before you purchase. The lighter the stroller the easier it is to push and carry. The lightest stroller we tried was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs in at 23 lbs. In general, most of the models we recommend in this guide fall between 30 and 40 lbs.
