This lightweight twin umbrella stroller stroller only weighs 24lbs when the child seats are connected. It folds down into a compact double buggy 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 weight, size, and quality of a double stroller have significant influence on the ease to push. In addition to the weight and size the type of tires, wheels and suspension also affect the ease with which a stroller turns and maneuvers in tight spaces. And, of course the number of kids and the amount of stuff you have in them also affects how difficult or simple it is to push.

Side-by-side models come with two seats that are next to each the other. They are considered to be easier to maneuver than tandems or front-to-back models. However, the larger frame of a stroller that is side-by-side typically means that it is more difficult to pass through standard doors. Also, depending on the height of your children' car seats, a side by side stroller might 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, which could make it difficult for older kids to take in the landscape or converse with their peers. And, if your children are different in age the seating arrangement may lead to sibling squabbles over who sits in which position.

On the other side, a tandem stroller can be a great option for siblings who are close in age. This kind of double stroller is more maneuverable and comes with an increased resale value than other types. The only drawback is that a tandem stroller can be more expensive than a side by side model.

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

They're generally a bit heavier than the typical side-by-side stroller, however they're also much easier to maneuver and are more stable.

Tandem

There are a myriad of options for double strollers if you have a family growing with twins or a baby number two, or if there is two children, a toddler and an infant. If you're in search of twins that are side-by-side or a tandem front-to-back model you'll need to think about the size and maneuverability of each, as well as how much storage space is available for bags and other equipment.

Tandem strollers generally have smaller profiles than side-by-side models and are therefore easier to maneuver in crowded areas or in tight aisles in stores. However, they're not as easy to fold as single-to-double models and can be a hassle to carry around when filled with cargo and children.

The UPPAbaby vista is our best option for a light tandem stroller that can be used in a variety situations. It's a favorite among families with one child and includes a toddler seat and a modular Rumble Seat that can be added later to accommodate a second child (carriers sold separately).

Other features worth looking for in a light double buggy sale stroller include a single-handed, self-standing fold; a one-parent brake that is easy to use; and straps that are cushioned around the waist and shoulders to ensure comfort. We also prefer a large under-seat storage basket that is easy to access and side and rear pockets for storage. Also, if you're planning to be taking your kids out for a run regularly, think about a double jogger that's designed to be fast and agile with a wide cushioned handlebar for comfortable steering and strong frame that can handle the extra weight of two children.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the only option to transport two children who are on the verge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is a cheap compact solution that lets your oldest sit in the back and your youngest to stand or walk next to you as you shop, eat out and explore. Our testers didn't love this kind of stroller however, due to the fact that it is often flimsy frames and wobbly wheels. Some have exposed rough fasteners or fabrics that aren't skin-friendly.

The front seat is also small and shallow. Parents have reported that their children can slide out of the front seat if they are not properly buckled. And the 5-point harnesses are a bit thin and can cause irritation to the skin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double however, is relatively lightweight and can be folded 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 move.

Tandem strollers are a good option for those who live in cities and have to navigate in narrow spaces and on sidewalks since they usually have more space than side-by-side options.

When you're looking for an easy-to-use double stroller, it's important to consider the way you plan to make use of it. Some parents choose to purchase a convertible, single-to-double stroller when they have their first child and then add a second seat as their family expands. This might seem like an excellent idea at the time, but we've observed that families are better off investing in a lightweight, Nipper Double Buggy stroller that is designed specifically for their child's stage and age.

The most compact double strollers have a wide range of features and configurations, including ample storage, multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars, and canopies with windows that peek out.

Another aspect to consider when selecting a light double stroller is how it performs on various surfaces and terrain. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and up curbs, while others are able to handle more difficult terrain.
