Lightweight Double Stroller
Double strollers can be a lifesaver when you have two kids and you need to get to your destination. These strollers have reclined seats that are independent as well as easy-to-use shade.
This stroller is lightweight and weighs just 24 pounds with the child seats in place. It folds down into a compact size that's self-standing and a carry strap--perfect for schlepping in the trunk of your car or on vacation.
Side-by-Side
The dimensions, quality, and weight of a double stroller dramatically impact how easy it is to push. The type of wheels, tires and suspension, along with the weight and size, affects the ease with which a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. And, of course the number of kids and the amount of stuff you have in them also makes a difference in how difficult or easy it is to push.
Side-by-side models have two seats that are adjacent to each other. They are considered to be easier to maneuver than tandems or front-to back models. The wider frame of the side-by-side makes it difficult to pass through standard doors. And, depending on the height of your children car seats, a side by side stroller may not be able to fit them comfortably.
Another consideration with side-by-side strollers is that the seat backs tend to be lower than single strollers. This can make it difficult for older children to take in the scenery or chat with their friends. Seating arrangements can also cause conflicts between siblings when you have children of different ages.
On the other side, a tandem stroller could be a great 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 a model that has two seats.
If you're a athlete and plan to use your stroller for long walks or runs it's a good idea to invest in a lightweight double jogging stroller that has a smooth suspension. These strollers come with larger and more durable wheels than standard double strollers and can handle off-road and pavement terrain. They're usually a little heavier than the average side-by-side stroller. However, they're also a lot more maneuverable and stable.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a great example of a quality lightweight, affordable tandem stroller. It is also compatible with a variety of infant car seats. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Tandem
If your family is growing with baby number two or twins, or you have a toddler and a younger infant there are many options for a double stroller. You'll need to take into consideration the size, maneuverability, and storage capacity of each model.
Tandem strollers have a smaller profile than side-by-side models. They are able to maneuver through tight spaces or narrow aisles of stores. However they're not as easy to fold down as single-to-double strollers and aren't as easy to use when loaded up with children and other items.
The UPPAbaby Vista is our top option for a light, all-around tandem stroller. It is a favorite among families with only one child. It comes with a toddler's seat that can be used with the stroller and a modular Rumble Seat which can be used to add a second child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large comfortable and have deep seat adjustments. The canopy is large, has peekaboo windows and both seats can recline independently.
Another good choice for a light tandem is the Jogger City Select. This jogging stroller is perfect for families that have active kids or parents who enjoy going on hikes with their kids and on trails through parks. The seats are large and comfy, with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopy is smaller than our other light double strollers. However, they have great-sized shades that pop out with SPF 50.
Other features worth looking for in a light double stroller include a single-handed self-standing fold, a one-parent brake that is easy to use and straps that are padded around the shoulders and waist for comfort. We also like a spacious under-seat storage basket that is easy to access and side and rear pockets for storage. If you're planning to take your kids for frequent jogging, consider a double jogger. It's quick 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
If you have an older child who's close to walking and a younger child who wants to join in it, there's no way to move them to walk together without a double stroller . A double umbrella stroller offers a compact, inexpensive solution that lets you take your oldest child with you while you go shopping, eat out, and explore. This type stroller wasn't the most popular among our test subjects because of its flimsy frames and wobbly tires. Some even have exposed rough fasteners or fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.
The front seat is small and shallow. Parents have reported that their children can slip out of the front seat if they're not properly buckled. The 5-point harnesses are a bit thin, which can chafe bare skin. However, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double is quite light and folds easily for transport in small trunks and cars. double pram and pushchair can accommodate two infant car seats, which is perfect for families with toddlers or infants on the move.
Tandem strollers are a great choice for urban dwellers who have to navigate through small spaces and along 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 could be an issue for families living in small apartments or homes.
Whether you're looking for a tandem stroller or side-by-side buggies our double stroller reviews will help you find the best lightweight option for your family's needs and budget. Those who will use their stroller regularly in crowded urban areas must look for one that's easy to turn, steer and push. Families who are planning to use their strollers less often may be able to spend a little more on a model that includes more features and seating options.

Compact
If you have two kids less than 5 years old a double stroller is a must-have piece of equipment. You can monitor your toddler and care for your infant with the double stroller. It reduces the space in your car and allows you to use one hand while navigating crowded supermarket aisles and city streets.
If you're in search of a lightweight, double stroller it's important to think about how you'll make use of it. Some parents choose to purchase a convertible, single-to-double stroller when they have their first child and then add another seat as their family expands. While this may seem like an appropriate purchase at the time, we've discovered that it usually is better for families to invest in a lightweight double stroller specifically made for their children's ages and stages.
The most double strollers for compact size offer a variety of configurations and features such as ample storage and cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars, and canopies with peekaboo windows. Some models even have a bassinet built in which makes them perfect for babies and newborns. They have a narrow footprint and fold down to almost flat, making them an ideal choice for parents with limited storage space at home or while traveling.
Another thing to consider when choosing a light double stroller is how it performs on various surfaces and terrain. Some strollers have a hard time maneuvering in tight spots and climbing up curbs while others can take on more difficult terrain easily. Certain strollers that jog are for instance equipped with special suspensions that let them glide over uneven terrain and pavements without causing any friction to their riders.
Also, it's an excellent idea to look at how much each stroller weighs before purchasing. The lighter the stroller is, the easier it will be to push and move around. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, weighing close to 23lbs. The majority of strollers that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 pounds.
