Lightweight Double Stroller

Double strollers are an absolute lifesaver when you have two kids and need to travel to your destination. These narrow strollers have independent seating and sunshades that are easy to use.

This stroller is lightweight and only weighs 24lbs when both child seats are in place. It has a compact fold that stands on its own and an adjustable carry strap that is perfect for schlepping in the trunk of your car, or on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The weight, size, and quality of a double stroller have an impact on the ease for you to push. The type of wheels, tires and suspension, along with weight and size affect how easily a double stroller can move and turn in tight spaces. Of course the number of children and the amount of stuff you have in them also makes a difference in how difficult or easy it is to push.

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

The seat backs of side-byside strollers are usually lower than single strollers. This makes it harder for older children to view the landscape or talk to their peers. And, if your children are different ages, the seating arrangement might lead to sibling squabbles about who sits in which spot.

On the other side, a tandem stroller could be a fantastic option for siblings that are close in age. This type of double stroller is more movable and has an increased resale value than other types. The only drawback is that a tandem stroller may be more expensive than a side-byside model.

If you're a keen athlete and plan to use 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 have larger and more robust wheels than regular double strollers and are able to handle off-road and pavement terrain. They are generally heavier than standard side-byside strollers but they are easier to maneuver and are more secure.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 double buggy converts to single Stroller is a good example of a high-quality light, compact, and affordable tandem stroller. It's also compatible with large selection of infant car seats, making it an excellent 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 have to think about the size, maneuverability, and storage space of each model.

Tandem strollers have a narrower profile than side-by-side models. They may be easier to maneuver around crowded areas or narrow aisles of shops. However they're not as easy to fold as single to double pushchair-to-double models and aren't as easy to carry around when filled with children and other items.

The UPPAbaby vista is our top option for a light tandem stroller that can be used in a variety situations. It is a popular choice for 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 added for a second child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are spacious and comfortable, with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also generously sizeable and features windows that peek out, and both seats recline independently of each other.

The Jogger City Select is another great option for a lightweight tandem. This stroller for jogging is ideal for families who have two kids 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 canopies are a bit smaller than those on our other strollers that are lightweight, but they do have nice-sized pop-out sunshades with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

A light double stroller must also have a fold that can be accomplished with one hand and a brake that's simple to operate by one parent and padded straps around the waist and shoulders for comfort. We also like having the large, easy-to-access under-seat storage basket as well as pockets on the sides and back. If you're planning to be taking your kiddos out jogging regularly, consider an especial double jogger made to be quick and agile, with a wide padded handlebar for easy steering and a sturdy frame that can support the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the best way to transport two children who are at the edge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is an inexpensive, compact solution that lets your oldest 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 due to its fragile frames and wobbly tires. Some even have exposed rough fasteners or materials that are not skin-friendly.

The front seat is small and shallow. Parents have complained that their children could slip out of the front seat if not properly buckled up. The 5-point harnesses could irritate the skin if they're too thin. However, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is quite light and folds easily for transport in cars and small trunks. It can accommodate two infant car seat, which is ideal for families with toddlers or young infants on the move.

Tandem strollers are a good option for urban dwellers who have to maneuver in narrow spaces and on sidewalks, as they often have more room than side-by-side alternatives. But they can be tough to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They typically occupy more storage space than side-by-side models when folded, which could pose a problem for families with small homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you choose the best lightweight option for your family. People who utilize their stroller frequently in crowded urban areas should focus on finding one that is easy to steer, turn and push. Families who are planning to use their stroller less often can afford to invest more on a model with more features and seating options. Don't hesitate to look at other brands if you're looking for a light double stroller. The top models we recommend come in multiple colors and come with a variety of extras like the parent tray as well as a foot brake large storage baskets and many more.

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 care for your infant with the double stroller. It also helps to save space in your car and lets you navigate the crowded aisles of supermarkets or parks and urban streets with just one set of hands.

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, it's important to think about how you're going to use it. Many parents choose a convertible, single-to-double stroller when they have their first child, and then add an additional seat as their family grows. This might seem like an excellent idea at the time, but we've found that families benefit from investing in a lightweight, double stroller made specifically for their child's stage and age.

The most compact double stroller double strollers for compact size offer a variety of options and configurations, including ample storage, multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some models even have a bassinet built in, making them ideal for infants and toddlers. They are small and fold up almost flat. This makes them a perfect option for parents with little storage space.

Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a light double stroller is how it performs on different surfaces and terrain. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and up curbs while others can handle more challenging terrain. For instance certain strollers for jogging have special suspensions that allow them to glide over pavement and rough ground without causing any jolts to the rider.

Finally, it's also a good idea to check out how much each stroller weighs before you buy. The lighter the stroller is, the easier it will be to push and move around. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller we tested, weighing around 23 pounds. In general, the majority of the strollers we recommend in this guide fall between 30 and 40 lbs.
