Lightweight Double Stroller
Lightweight double strollers are a godsend for families with two children who need to get from point A point B. These strollers are narrow and have separate reclined seats as well as easy-to-use sunshades.
This lightweight twin stroller weighs only 24 lbs when the child seats in place. It folds compactly 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 weight, size, and quality of a double stroller have an impact on how easy it is for you to push. In addition to the weight and size the type of tires, wheels and suspension also affect the ease with which a stroller can turn and moves through tight spaces. And, of course the number of kids and how much stuff you put in them affects how difficult or easy it is to push.
Side-by-side strollers feature two seats adjacent to one another and are generally considered to be easier to maneuver than tandem or front-to-back models. However, the larger frame of a side-byside stroller usually means it's more difficult to pass through standard doors. A side-by-side can't accommodate the car seat of your child comfortably, depending on its height.
The seat backs on side-by-side strollers are usually lower than single strollers. This can make it more difficult for older children to view the surroundings or converse with their friends. If your children are of different ages the seating arrangement may lead to sibling squabbles about who sits in which position.
On the other hand, a tandem stroller can be a fantastic option for siblings who are close in age. This type of stroller generally has a high resale price and is much easier to maneuver than other double strollers. A tandem stroller is more expensive than a model with two side-by-side seats.
If you're a keen runner and plan on using your stroller for long runs or walks it's a good idea to invest in a light double jogging stroller that has a smooth suspension. These strollers come with larger and more durable tires than standard double strollers and they can handle off-road terrain, as well as pavement. They're usually a little heavier than the typical side-by-side stroller. However, they're also easier to maneuver and more sturdy.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is a fantastic example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is inexpensive and of high quality. It is also compatible with a large selection of infant car seats which makes it a great choice for twins.
Tandem
There are many options for double buggy side by side strollers if your family is growing with twins or a baby number two, or if there is an infant and a toddler. If you're looking for twins that are side-by-side or a tandem front-to-back model, you'll need to consider the dimensions and maneuverability of each, and also the amount of storage space available for bags and other equipment.
Tandem strollers have a narrower profile than side by side double stroller-by-side models. They may be easier to maneuver through tight spaces or narrow aisles of stores. However they're not as simple to fold down as single-to-double strollers and can be cumbersome to carry around when filled with cargo and children.
The UPPAbaby Vista is our top choice for a lightweight, all-around tandem stroller. It is a favorite among families with only one child. It comes with a toddler seat that can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a modular Rumble Seat which can be used to add an additional child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are large and comfortable with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is spaciously sized, has peekaboo windows and both seats recline independently.
The Jogger City Select is another good option for a lightweight tandem. This jogging stroller is perfect for families that have active kids or parents who enjoy taking their children on hikes and trails in parks. The seats are spacious and comfortable, with adjustable foot and leg rests. The canopy is a little smaller than our other lightweight double strollers. But, they have large pop-out shades that are SPF 50.
Other key features to look for in a lightweight double stroller are a one-handed, self-standing fold; a one-parent brake that is easy to use and straps that are padded around the shoulders and waist for extra comfort. We also appreciate a large, easy-to access under-seat storage basket and back and side pockets. If you're planning to be taking your kiddos on jogging trips regularly, you should consider an especial double jogger designed to be fast and agile with a wide cushioned handlebar for comfortable steering and strong frame that can handle the additional weight of two children.
Front-to-Back
A double stroller is the only way to transport two children who are at the edge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is a cheap, compact solution that lets your oldest sit in the back and your younger one to walk or stand alongside you while you shop, eat out, and explore. Our test subjects didn't like this style of stroller, however, due to the fact that it tends to have flimsy-feeling frames and wobbly wheels. Some even have exposed fasteners that are rough and fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.
The front seat is small and shallow. Parents have complained that their children could slide out of the front seat if they are not properly buckled up. And the 5-point harnesses are a bit thin and can cause chafing on the skin. 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 seats, which is great for families with toddlers, Ready To Grow Double Stroller or for babies on the moving.
Tandem strollers provide more space than side-by-side options, making them the ideal option for urban people. However, they can be difficult to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They occupy more space when folded than side by side models, which can be an issue for those who live in small apartments or homes.

Compact
A double stroller can be an essential piece of equipment for parents with two children under the age of 5. You can keep an eye on your toddler and take care of your infant while using the double stroller. It also frees up space in your car and lets you brave crowded supermarket aisles and parks as well as city streets with only one pair of hands.
If you're shopping for a compact double stroller, you need to think about how you're going to utilize it. Some parents opt for a single stroller that can be converted to a double once they have a child, and then add another seat as their family grows. 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 best double strollers for compact size come with a variety of configurations and features that include ample storage space as well as multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars, and canopies that have peekaboo windows. Some even have a bassinet that is built-in, making them ideal for infants and toddlers. They are compact and fold almost flat. This makes them a perfect option for parents with limited storage space.
Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a light double stroller is its performance on different surfaces and terrain. Some strollers have a hard getting around tight areas and climbing over curbs, while others can take on more challenging terrain with ease. For instance the jogging strollers come with special suspension that helps them glide over pavement and rough ground without causing any jolts to the rider.
It's also a great idea to check the weight of each stroller prior to you buy. The lighter the stroller is and the more comfortable it is to push and carry.
