Lightweight Double Strollers

Traditionally, double strollers have swung to extremes—either bulky, jogging-style tanks or ultra-basic umbrella versions that leave much to be desired. For years, there’s been a noticeable gap in the market for luxury lightweight double strollers. Thankfully, industry-leading brands have caught on and pivoted to meet the needs of modern families. Today, we’re finally seeing top contenders that check all the boxes for busy parents juggling two.

Configurations To Consider When Selecting a Lightweight Double Stroller

Most parents moving on to a double stroller take a "less is more approach," opting for a side-by-side double stroller over an inline tandem. Here's why:

• Effortless folding: Most side-by-side strollers fold in one quick step and as one piece, while many convertible or in-line models require removing seats or adapters first.
• Superior maneuverability: Whether you’re crossing the street or hopping a curb, side-by-side strollers handle more easily. In contrast, in-line models often place one child low and out front, making these everyday movements awkward or even impossible.
• Better visibility and bonding: With both children seated next to each other, you don’t have to decide who goes “on the bottom.” Parents can keep both little ones in sight—and within arm’s reach—for shared smiles and double the connection.
• Streamlined design: No conversion kits, no detachable parts, and no risk of forgetting a crucial piece at home. Side-by-side strollers are ready to roll whenever you are.
• Practical and compact: Generally, these strollers come at a more accessible price point, with lighter weight and smaller folded footprints than many in-line models.
• Surprisingly narrow footprint: Although they appear wider at first glance, most side-by-side doubles are only a few inches broader in wheelbase than their in-line counterparts. The wide appearance is often an illusion—many in-line strollers need extra wheel width to support two seats.
