They are thought to be easier to maneuver than tandems and front-to-back models. However, the wider frame of a side-byside stroller often means it's harder to pass through standard doors. A side-by-side can't accommodate your child's car seat comfortably, depending on its height.Another consideration with side-by-side strollers is that their seats are generally lower than single strollers, which can make it difficult for older kids to look out over the landscape or converse with their friends.

It accepts two infant car seats, which is great for families with toddlers, or for babies who are on the on the move.Tandem strollers are an excellent option for urban dwellers who must navigate in narrow spaces and on sidewalks, since they typically offer more space than side-byside alternatives.

Some parents choose a single-to-double stroller that can be converted to double as they have their child, and then add a seat as their family expands. This may be an excellent idea at the time but we've found that families are better off investing in a light double stroller made specifically for their child's stage of development and age.The best double strollers for compact size come with a variety of options and configurations that include ample storage space and cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars, and canopies with windows that peek out. Some even come with a built-in bassinet, making them ideal for newborns and infants. They are small in footprint and fold down to nearly flat, which makes them an excellent choice for parents with limited storage space at home or when traveling.Another aspect to consider when choosing a lightweight double stroller is how it performs on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and up curbs, while others are able to handle more difficult terrain. Certain strollers that jog are for instance equipped with special suspensions that allow them to move over uneven terrain and pavements without causing any friction to their rider.It's also a good idea to measure the weight of each stroller prior to you buy. The lighter the stroller and the more comfortable it will be to push and carry. The lightest stroller we tested was the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which weighs in at 23 pounds. In general, the majority of the strollers we recommend in this guide fall between 30 and 40 pounds.
