Lightest Double Stroller
When searching for a lightweight double stroller, weight and folded size are the most important aspects to consider. When not in use, pick one that is easy to handle and compact. This will allow it to store in your car trunk and navigate through airport gates and international roads.
The best strollers that are lightweight have a lightweight, easy fold and self-standing mechanism to lessen the burden on parents' bodies. Many strollers come with different seating options and some are able to accommodate car seats for infants.
Kolcraft Cloud Plus
The perfect product for families who are always on the move. Lightweight and compact, with an easy fold with one hand. All-terrain wheels and front suspension as well as a multi-position reclining seats will accommodate children as heavy as 50 pounds. The trays for parents and children, large storage basket, and a three-tiered canopy that has a peekaboo window provide maximum sun protection.
The Cloud received one of the lowest scores in our quality tests due to a flimsy feel with hard plastic seats, and a design that is old-fashioned. It's also more expensive than other strollers that are lighter, so it's not a good choice if you're looking for an economical option.
It's not the lightest stroller but it comes with enough features that it is worth considering. Its swiveling front wheel makes it easy to maneuver on flat surfaces and it is able to jump over curbs with minimal effort unlike other light strollers that diverge when trying to accomplish the same thing. The low handle of the Cloud is a disadvantage however, as it's at knee level and isn't adjustable. It's not comfortable to push it with your legs hanging in the air like that and it's not helping that it's not padded.
In our tests, we found the Cloud to be simple to open and set up. Close it can be a bit more difficult. You must slide the slider before you press the large white button. This can be frustrating especially if you're juggling kids while you do it.
The Cloud has a small but deep storage basket that can be used to fit a medium-sized diaper bag. It's not the greatest width however it's likely that you'll need to put something in for the back to take it out. The Cloud includes two tray for parents and a child tray, each with two cup holders. Both are too narrow for larger bottles or cups.

Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS
Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS is a fairly barebones lightweight double stroller that's perfect for traveling. It weighs only 18 lbs, which is lighter than some single strollers. It folds flat, making it easy to transport and store. double running stroller has independently reclined seats and large all-weather SPF50 sun visors that have windows that peek out and extra-large under seat storage bags. The visors are adjustable to accommodate children of different heights. Plus, it has one-step linked parking brake that is Disney-sized approved.
The swivel wheels on the Jeep are also awesome to maneuver over bumps and uneven surfaces. The stroller does not accept car seats, so your little ones should be at least six months old and have good neck control to be able to ride in the front seat. It does come with an attractive, three-panel sun canopy, however, and each seat has its own snack tray as well as cup holders for the parents.
Another incredibly lightweight side-by-side stroller is the Valco Baby Snap Duo Trend. It's heavier than Kolcraft Cloud Plus, at 23 pounds. However, it's smaller and slimmer (26.5 inches wide!) and is packed with luxe features that make it perfect for travel. It folds easily, very maneuverable, and fits easily in the overhead compartments and trunks of planes.
Similar to the Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ Double and Mountain Buggy Nano Duo, the Joovy Kooper X2 is another tri-fold ultralight double stroller. It's pretty comparable to the Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS, but it has some key differences. It's also slightly more expensive, but it offers better maneuverability and has the largest sun canopy. It also has a convenient carry strap and can hold children up to 44 pounds per seat.
Summer 3D Pac for Infants CS+
If you're seeking a stroller which is light but packed with features look no further than Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+. It's not just lightweight, weighing just 13 pounds but also has plenty of storage options, including cupholders for both parents and children and a sippy-cup bag for the child, a parent's storage pocket and so on. This stroller can also fit the car seat of a child and has an easy-to-engage brake that is flip-flop friendly. It's designed to grow with your child from a newborn stroller to a toddler stroller simply by attaching the car seat adapters (sold separately) and is suitable for children aged 6 months old and up.
This stroller only has swivel wheels and no locking feature and therefore may not be the best choice for steep or rocky terrain. It's a great stroller for pavements, as well as other smooth surfaces, though, so it's still an excellent option for most families.
This stroller is one of the most lightweight double strollers with large features in an elegant, compact design. It can be folded with one hand and put away in the trunk or garage. It can be used as a travel stoller, and is compatible with no additional adapters for most car seats.
Contrary to the majority of lightweight strollers like the Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ features two seats that can accommodate up to 50 pounds per seat (100 pounds total). The seats have individual leg rests, as well as three-panel canopies that include an open-top sunvisor and a peekaboo window.
The seats are padded to ensure your baby's comfort and come with a five-point padded safety harness that adjusts to three height positions. Each seat comes with a built-in infant cushion, which is great for babies. The cup holders for parent and child, the phone holders, and the huge storage basket will be appreciated by parents. The stroller can also be outfitted with the Yoyo+ Board, which turns it into a tandem stroller.
Joovy Kooper X2
The Kooper X2 double stroller is an excellent choice for parents looking for a light double stroller that can accommodate two children. The sling-style seats are comfortable and offer a similar amount of headroom, allowing kids to sit together. Contrary to other strollers with side-by-side seating this one Kooper X2 offers a fully reclined seat that's a great option for napping. The recline mechanism is simple to use but doesn't go really flat. Kids who are taller may notice a dangling leg when sitting in a reclined position. It also has a huge canopy that we found to be more effective at blocking out the sun than other strollers in our review of the best double strollers.
The stroller is light enough to be able to navigate through door frames. This was an important issue with other models we tried. It folds easily and the handlebars sit close to the ground. Its only downside is its small storage space, which feels cramped when full of kids' toys.

Their range includes unique bottles in our best baby bottle review, intriguing strollers such as the Joovy Zoom X2 Double and a unique rain cover that fits a variety of popular strollers. The company's products are affordable priced, and they often come with fun designs that attract children.
During our lab tests of double strollers, we look at multiple factors to determine how easy a model is to use, including the ease of use to fold and set up, adjust the safety harness, close and open the brakes, raise and carry the stroller like you would put it into a trunk of a car and then install and remove an infant car seat (if appropriate). We also assessed the durability and strength and also whether each product has an adult tray that can be used by both children.
The Joovy Kooper X2 earned the highest score for ease of use in our most recent update of the top double strollers guide, and one of the top scores in our Strollers test program overall. Its simple-to-use design features one-hand recline that is tilt-free with a huge canopy that rotates to the side for shade, and features a mesh for ventilation that is visible when it's tilted. It also has individual child trays with built-in cupholders, zipper parent pockets and a large storage basket.
