Lightweight pushchair double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers are a godsend for families with two children who must move from point A to point B. These strollers have independent reclining seats and easy-to-use shade options.

This lightweight twin stroller weighs just 24 lbs with both kid seats attached. It has an easy fold and a carry handle. This makes it simple to carry in the trunk of a car or on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The size, quality, and weight of a double stroller significantly influence how easy it's to push. The kind of tires, wheels and suspension, as well as weight and size affect how easily a double stroller can move and turn in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller and the amount of you are able to fit in it will also impact the ease or difficulty it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers feature two seats that are next to each other and are generally considered easier to navigate than tandem or front-to-back models. However, the bigger frame of a stroller that is side-by-side often means it's harder to pass through standard doors. A side-by-side stroller can't fit your child's car seat comfortably, based on its height.

Another factor to consider with side-byside strollers is that their seats are generally lower than the ones on single strollers. This can make it difficult for older kids to gaze out at the landscape or converse with their peers. And, if your kids are of different ages the seating arrangement may cause sibling rivalries over who gets to sit in which seat.

On the other side, a tandem stroller can be a fantastic option for siblings that are close in age. This type of stroller generally has a high resale value and is easier to navigate than many other types of double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than a model that has two seats.

If you're an avid runner and plan on using your stroller for long walks or runs it's a good idea to invest in a light double jogging stroller that has 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 but they are 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 which makes it a great option for twins.

Tandem

There are a variety of options for double strollers if your family is growing with twins or a baby number two, or if there is an infant and a toddler. Whether you're looking for an asymmetrical twin or a tandem front-to-back model, you'll need to consider the size and maneuverability of each as well as the amount of storage space available for bags and other equipment.

Tandem strollers generally have smaller profile than side-byside strollers and are therefore easier to maneuver in crowded spaces or narrow aisles in stores. They're not as simple to fold as single-to double seat stroller models, and they can be difficult to fold when laden with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our top pick for an all-around lightweight tandem stroller. It's a favorite of families with one child and includes a toddler seat as well as 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 also large sized and includes peekaboo windows. Both seats recline independently of one other.

Another great option for a lightweight tandem is the Jogger City Select. This jogging stroller is great for families who have two children or parents who enjoy taking their children on hikes and trails in parks. The seats are spacious and comfortable, with adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopy is smaller than our other light double strollers. But, they have nice sized pop-out shades with SPF 50.

A light double stroller must also have a fold that can be accomplished by one hand and a brake that is 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 back and side pockets. If you're planning on taking your children for a run regularly think about the double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a large cushioned handlebar that makes steering easy, and a sturdy frame that can take the weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the only option to transport two children who are on the verge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is an affordable, compact solution that lets you take your oldest child along with you while you go shopping, eat out, and explore. This type of stroller was not the most popular among our test subjects because of its flimsy frames and wobbly tires. Some have exposed fasteners with rough edges and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

Furthermore the front seat is also small and sloping. Some parents have reported that their children slide out of the seat if they are not properly secured. The 5-point harnesses can be a bit flimsy, which can chafe bare skin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is, however, is surprisingly light and folds easily to fit into small trunks and cars. It also accepts two infant car seats, which can be useful for families with babies or toddlers on the go.

Tandem strollers are a good option for urban dwellers who must navigate in small spaces and along sidewalks, since they typically have more space than side-by-side options. But they can be tough to maneuver on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. And they typically take up more space than side-by-side models when folded. This can be an issue for families living in small homes or apartments.

If you're looking for a tandem stroller, or side-by-side buggie, our double stroller reviews will help you find the best lightweight option for your family's requirements and budget. If you plan to use your stroller in busy urban areas, it's important to choose one that's easy to steer around, turn and push. Families who intend to use their strollers more infrequently can afford to spend a bit more on a model that has more features and seating options. If you're in the market for a lightweight double stroller, don't hesitate to look at other brands in addition to our top choices. A lot of our top-rated models are available in a variety of colors and feature a variety of extras like the parent tray, a foot brake, large storage baskets and many more.

Compact

A double stroller is an essential piece of equipment when you have two children younger than 5 years old. It lets you keep an eye on your toddler and give attention to your infant. It also frees up space in your car and lets you traverse the aisles of crowded supermarkets or parks and urban streets with just one set of hands.

When you're looking for an easy-to-use double stroller, it is important to consider how you'll utilize it. Some parents opt for a single stroller that can be made a double once they have a child, and then add another seat as their family expands. This may seem like an excellent idea at the time, but we've found that families benefit from investing in a lightweight, double stroller that is designed specifically for their child's stage and age.

The most compact double buggy newborn strollers come in a variety configurations and features. They have plenty of storage space, cup holders for adults with multiple cups, handlebars that can be adjusted and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some models even have an integrated bassinet making them suitable for infants and toddlers. They are small in footprint and fold down to nearly flat, which makes them an ideal choice for parents with small storage space at home or when traveling.

When choosing a lightweight double-stroller, you should also take into consideration how it performs on different types of terrain and surfaces. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and up curbs while others are able to handle more difficult terrain. Jogging strollers are for instance equipped with special suspensions that help them move over uneven terrain and pavement without tripping their rider.

Finally, it's also a good idea to know the weight of each stroller before purchasing. The lighter the stroller is, the simpler it is to push and transport. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, with a weight of around 23 pounds. The majority of the models we recommend in this guide fall between 30 and 40 pounds.
