Lightweight Double Stroller

Lightweight double travel stroller strollers can be a lifesaver for families with two children who have to get from point A to point B. These narrow strollers feature reclined seats that are independent and easy-to-use shade options.

The lightweight twin stroller weighs just 24 pounds with both kid seats attached. It folds down into a compact size that is self-standing, as well as 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 can have a a significant impact on how easy it is to push. The type of tires, wheels and suspension, in addition to weight and size affect the ease with which a double stroller can turn and move in tight spaces. The number of children that are in the stroller and how much you have in it will also impact how easy or difficult it is to push.

Side-by-side models have two seats which are next to each other. They are thought to be more maneuverable than tandems and front-to-back models. However, the wider frame of a stroller that is side-by-side often means it's harder to fit through standard doors. And, depending on the height of your children car seats, a side by side stroller may not be able accommodate them comfortably.

The seat backs of side-by-side strollers are usually lower than single strollers. This makes it difficult for older children to look at the surroundings or converse with their peers. If your children are different in age, the seating arrangement might lead to sibling squabbles about who sits in which spot.

A tandem stroller is a great option for siblings of similar age. This type of stroller generally has a high resale value and is much easier to maneuver than other double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than one with two side-by-side seats.

If you're a runner and plan on using your stroller for long runs or walks, it's worth investing in a light double jogging stroller that has a smooth suspension. These strollers come with larger and more robust wheels than standard double strollers and can handle both pavement and off-road terrain. They're typically a bit heavier than the typical side-by-side stroller. However, they're also much more maneuverable and sturdy.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is an excellent example of a light tandem stroller that's affordable and of top quality. It's also compatible with wide variety of infant car seats making it a good choice for twins.

Tandem

If your family is growing with baby number two or twins, or if you have a toddler and younger infant, there are many options available for a double stroller. You'll need to consider the size, maneuverability and storage capacity of each model.

Tandem strollers have a slimmer profile than side-byside models. They can be more convenient to maneuver through crowded areas or narrow aisles of stores. They're not as easy to fold as single-to double models, and are cumbersome when loaded with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our top option for a light tandem stroller that can be used in a variety of situations. It's a favorite of families with only one child. It comes with an included toddler seat as well as a movable Rumble Seat that can be added later for another child (carriers sold separately). The seats are large and comfortable, with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also generously big and has windows that peek out, and both seats recline independently of each other.

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

A lightweight double stroller should also feature a fold that can be done by one hand and a brake that's simple to operate by one parent and padded straps that wrap around the waist and shoulders to provide comfort. We also like having a large, easy-to access under-seat storage basket and back and side pockets. If you're planning to be taking your kiddos out jogging regularly, consider a specialized double jogger that's designed to be fast and agile, with a wide cushioned handlebar for comfortable steering and an extremely sturdy frame that can handle the additional weight of two kids.

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 to move them around together without a double buggy travel system stroller. A double umbrella stroller (www.awanzhou.com) is a low-cost compact solution that lets your oldest sit in the back and your younger one to walk or stand alongside you while you shop, dine out and explore. This type of stroller was not one of our testers' favorites because it has flimsy frames and wobbly tires. Some have exposed fasteners that are rough or even fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

Moreover the front seat is also small and sloping. Parents have reported that their kids slide right out of it if they're not properly secured. The 5-point harnesses can cause irritation to the skin if they are too thin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, however, is relatively lightweight and folds easily to fit in small trunks and cars. It can also accommodate two infant car seats, which can be handy for families with infants or toddlers on the go.

Tandem strollers provide more space than side-byside options which makes them a great option for urban residents. However, they can be difficult to navigate on grass, unpaved paths and curbs. They also typically take up more space than side-by-side models when folded, which could be a problem for families who live in small homes or apartments.

If you're in search of a stroller that is lightweight and double-seat, it's important to consider how you'll make use of it. Many parents choose an adaptable single-to-double stroller, when they have their first child, and then add an additional seat as their family expands. This may be a good idea at the time, but we've found that families benefit from investing in a light double stroller that is designed specifically for their child's stage and age.

When choosing a lightweight double-stroller, it is important to be aware of how it performs in different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers have a difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and getting up curbs, while others are able to handle more difficult terrains easily. For instance certain strollers for jogging have special suspensions that allow them to glide across rough and paved ground without causing any jolts to the rider.

Also, it's recommended 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.
