Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double strollers can be lifesaver for families with two kids who need to get from point A to point B. These narrow strollers have independent reclining seats and easy-to-use sunshades.

This lightweight twin buggy stroller weighs only 24 lbs when the child seats in place. It features the ability to fold down small and has an e-handle. This makes it simple to transport in the trunk of a car or during a trip.

Side-by-Side

The dimensions, quality, and weight of a double stroller greatly impact how easy it is to push. In addition to the size and weight the type of tires, wheels, and suspension also affect the ease with which a stroller can turn and maneuvers in tight spaces. The number of children that are in the stroller as well as the amount you’re carrying will also impact the ease or difficulty it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers feature two seats next to each other and are generally considered to be more easy to maneuver than tandem or front-to-back models. The wider frame of the side-by-side can make it difficult to fit through doorways that are standard. And, depending on the height of your kids’ car seats, a side by side stroller may not be able to fit them comfortably.

Another factor to consider with side-byside strollers is that the seat backs are typically lower than those of single strollers double strollers, which can make it difficult for older children to take in the landscape or talk to their peers. Seating arrangements can lead to disputes between siblings if you have children of different ages.

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

If you’re a runners and plan to use your stroller for long walks or runs it’s a good idea to invest in a light double jogging stroller with a smooth suspension. These strollers have more robust and larger tires than standard double strollers, and can handle off-road terrain, as well as pavement. They’re generally a bit heavier than the average side-by-side stroller, but they’re also easier to maneuver and more stable.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is an excellent example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is affordable and of high-end. It’s also compatible with a large selection of infant car seats making it a good option for twins.

Tandem

There are a variety of options for double strollers if you have a family growing with twins or baby number two or a toddler and an infant. You’ll need to take into consideration the size, maneuverability and storage space of each model.

Tandem strollers typically have narrower profiles than side-by-side models and are therefore easier to maneuver in crowded areas or in tight aisles at stores. They’re not as simple to fold as single-to-double models, and can be cumbersome when loaded with children and cargo.

The UPPAbaby Vista is a top pick for an all-around lightweight tandem stroller. It’s a favorite among families with only one child. It comes with an included toddler seat and a modular Rumble Seat that can be added later for another child (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large and comfortable with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also spaciously sized and includes peekaboo windows. Both seats recline independently of one other.

Another option for a lightweight tandem is the Jogger City Select. This jogging stroller is great for families who have two children or parents who love taking their kids on hikes and trails in parks. The seats are big and comfy, with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopies are a bit smaller than our other lightweight double strollers however they do come with great-sized sunshades that pop out with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

A lightweight double stroller should also have a foldable feature that can be done with one hand and a brake that’s easy to use by one parent and padded straps around the waist and shoulders to provide comfort. We also appreciate the large, easy-to-access under-seat storage basket and pockets on the sides and back. If you’re planning to take your kids out jogging frequently you should consider a double jogger. It’s fast and agile, with a wide and comfortable handlebar that makes steering easy, 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 would like to join in there’s no way for you to get them both around without a double travel buggy stroller. A double umbrella stroller is a cheap double buggy compact twin stroller solution that lets your oldest sit in the back, and your youngest to stand or walk alongside you while you shop, dine out, and explore. Our test participants didn’t enjoy this kind of stroller however, as it is often flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed rough fasteners or materials that aren’t skin-friendly.

The front seat is also small and shallow. Some parents report that their children slide right out of it if they’re not properly buckled in. The 5-point harnesses can chafe the skin if too thin. The Baby Trend Sit N’ Stand Double however, is relatively lightweight and folds easily to fit into small trunks and cars. It is compatible with two infant car seat, which is ideal for families with toddlers, or for babies on the on the move.

Tandem strollers are a good choice for urban dwellers who have to maneuver in tight spaces and on sidewalks, as they often offer more space than side-byside alternatives. However, they can be difficult to maneuver on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They also typically take up more space than side-by-side models when folded. This can be a problem for families who live in smaller homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you pick the most lightweight option for you and your family. If you intend to use your stroller in busy urban areas, it’s important to find one that is easy to steer to turn, push and turn. Families who plan to use their stroller less often may be able to spend a bit more for a model which includes more features and seating options. Do not be afraid to check out other brands if looking for a lightweight double-stroller. The top models we recommend come in a variety of colors and come with a variety of features like an adult tray and a foot brake, large storage baskets and more.

Compact

A double stroller is an essential piece of equipment when you have two children younger than 5 years old. You can watch your toddler and take care of your infant using the double stroller. It also saves space in your car and allows you to traverse the aisles of crowded supermarkets, parks, and city streets with only one set of hands.

If you’re in search of a lightweight, double stroller it’s important to consider how you intend to use it. Some parents choose to purchase an adaptable single-to-double stroller when they have their first child. They then add another seat as their family grows. Although this might seem like an ideal purchase at the time, we have observed that it is better for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller specifically made for their children’s age and stages.

The best compact double strollers are available in a variety of configurations and features. They have plenty of storage space, cup holders for adults, multiple cups, handlebars that can be adjusted and canopies that have windows that can be opened for peekaboo. Some models even have an integrated bassinet, making them perfect for newborns and infants. They are compact and fold almost flat. This makes them an excellent option for parents with limited storage space.

Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a lightweight double stroller is its performance on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a tough to maneuver in tight spaces and climbing up curbs while others can handle more difficult terrain easily. For instance certain strollers for jogging have special suspensions that allow them to glide over rough and concrete ground without jostling the rider.

Finally, it’s also recommended to check out how much each stroller weighs before you buy. The lighter the stroller, the easier it is to push and move around. The lightest stroller that we tested was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs in at 23 pounds. In general, most of the models we recommend in this guide fall between 30 and 40 pounds.
