Lightweight double strollers can be lifesaver for families with two kids who must move from point A to point B. These strollers are narrow and have separate reclining seats and easy-to-use shade options.

The lightweight twin stroller weighs 24 pounds when both child seats are attached. It folds down into a compact size that's self-standing and an adjustable carry strap that is perfect for schlepping in the trunk of your car or taking on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The size, weight, and quality of a double-stroller have an impact on how easy it is for you to push. In  double strollers Pushchairs And Prams  to the weight and size the type of wheels, tires, and suspension also affect how easily a stroller turns and moves in tight spaces. The number of kids in the stroller as well as the amount you're carrying will also impact how easy or difficult it is to push.

Side-byside models have two seats which are next to each other. They are believed to be more maneuverable than tandems or front-to-back models. The larger frame of the side-by-side can make it difficult to fit through standard doors. A side-by-side stroller can't fit the car seat of your child comfortably, based on its height.

Another consideration with side-by-side strollers is that their seat backs are typically lower than those of single strollers, which can make it difficult for older kids to gaze out at the scenery or chat with their friends. Seating arrangements can also cause conflicts among siblings if you have children of different age groups.

On the other hand, a tandem stroller can be a fantastic option for siblings that are close in age. This type of double stroller is more maneuverable and comes with a higher resale price than other types. The only downside is that a tandem stroller could be more expensive than a side-byside model.

If you're a athlete and plan to use your stroller for long runs or walks, it's worth investing in a lightweight double jogging stroller, with a smooth suspension.

These strollers are typically heavier than standard side-byside strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver and are more secure.

Tandem

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

Tandem strollers have a slimmer profile than side-byside models. They are able to maneuver through crowded areas or narrow aisles of shops. However they're not as easy to fold down as single-to-double strollers and can be a hassle to use when packed with children and other items.

The UPPAbaby Vista is a top pick for an all-around lightweight tandem stroller. It is a popular choice for families with just one child. It comes with a toddler's seat that can be used with the stroller as well as a movable Rumble Seat which can be added for another child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large, comfortable, and feature deep seat adjustments. The canopy is spaciously sized with peekaboo windows. both seats can recline independently.

Another great option for a lightweight tandem is the Jogger City Select. This jogging stroller is great for active families with 2 children or parents who enjoy taking their kids on hikes and on trails through parks. The seats are comfortable and spacious, with adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is smaller than our other lightweight double strollers. However, they have great-sized shades that pop out with SPF 50.

A light double stroller should also feature a fold that can be completed using just one hand, a brake that is simple to operate by one parent, and padded straps around the waist and shoulders to provide comfort. We also prefer a large under-seat storage basket that is easy to access and side and rear pockets for storage. If you plan to take your kids for frequent jogging you should consider a double jogger. It's fast and agile, with a wide and comfortable handlebar that makes steering simple, and a sturdy frame to take the weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

If you have an older child close to 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 an affordable, compact solution that allows you to take your oldest child with you as you shop or eat out, or explore. Our test participants didn't enjoy this style of stroller, however, because it has flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some even have exposed rough fasteners or materials that are not skin-friendly.

The front seat is also small and shallow. Parents have stated that their children may slip out of the front seat if not properly buckled. And the 5-point harnesses are thin and can cause irritation to the skin. However the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is fairly lightweight and folds up easily for transportation in small trunks and cars. It accepts two infant car seat, which is great for families with toddlers or babies who are on the moving.

Tandem strollers provide more space than side-byside options which makes them a great option for urban people. However, they can be difficult to maneuver on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They occupy more space when folded than side by side models, which could be a problem for those with smaller homes or apartments.

People who utilize their stroller frequently in urban areas with a lot of traffic should focus on finding one that's easy to turn, steer and push. Families who intend to use their stroller less frequently can afford to spend more on a model that comes with more features and seating options.

Many of our top models are available in different colors, and some come with additional features such as a parent tray or foot brake.

Compact

If you're in the market for a compact double stroller, it's crucial to consider how you plan to make use of it. Some parents choose to purchase an adaptable single-to-double stroller when they have their first child, and then add an additional seat as their family expands. This might seem like a good idea at the time, but we've found that families would be better off purchasing a light, double stroller made specifically for their child's stage and age.

The most compact double strollers come in a variety of styles and features. They include ample storage space, cup holders for adults, several cups, a movable handlebar and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some even come with an integrated bassinet, making them ideal for newborns and babies. They have a narrow footprint and fold down nearly flat, which makes them an ideal choice for parents with little storage space at home or on the road.

Another thing to consider when choosing a light double stroller is its performance on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a hard to maneuver in tight spaces and getting up curbs, while others are able to handle more difficult terrain easily. For instance, some jogging strollers have special suspensions that help them glide across rough and paved terrain without causing a lot of jostling.

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