Lightest Double StrollerWhen you're searching for a light double-stroller, its folded size and weight are important aspects to take into consideration. Choosing one that's easy to maneuver and
compact twin stroller when not in use makes it easier to place into the trunk of your car and navigate through airport security and other foreign streets.
The most lightweight strollers have a simple, easy fold that allows them to stand up on their own. This helps reduce stress on the body of the parent. Many strollers have different seating options, and some can accommodate infant car seats.
Kolcraft Cloud Plus
Designed for families on the move. Lightweight with a convenient one-hand compact fold. The front suspension and all-terrain wheel and the multi-position reclining seats can be used for children up 50 pounds. Trays for parents and children with a large storage basket as well as 3-tier extended canopy with the ability to peek through the window for maximum sun protection.
The Cloud scored one of the lowest marks in our quality tests because it has a weak, hard plastic seat and a design which appears outdated. It is also more expensive than other lightweight strollers. This makes it a poor choice for those looking for the cheapest option.
It's not the most light stroller but it has enough features to make it worth a look. The swiveling wheels make it easy to maneuver it on flat surfaces. It also allows you to jump curbs with ease. The Cloud's low, knee-high handle has a disadvantage. It's not adjustable, and it's not adjustable. It's uncomfortable to push with your legs hanging in the air and it's also not helping that it's not padded.
During our testing and testing, we found the Cloud to be easy to open and set up. Close it is a little more difficult. You need to slide the slider and then press the large white button. This can be frustrating, especially if you're juggling kids while doing it.
The Cloud has a small but deep storage basket that can fit a medium diaper bag. It's a little narrow however you'll probably need to put something in to reach back to take it out. The Cloud has an adult and child tray with two cup holders each, but both are too narrow to hold larger bottles or cups.

Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS
Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS is a lightweight and minimalist double stroller that's great for traveling. It weighs only 18 lbs, which is lighter than other
Single Double Stroller strollers. and can fold flat for easy transport and storage. It also features independently reclining seats and large all-weather SPF 50 sun visors that have large windows with peekaboos and storage bags underneath the seat. 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 wheel of the Jeep is also great for navigating over bumps and uneven terrain. The stroller does not accept car seats, so your little ones must be 6 months old and have a solid neck control to be able to ride in the front seat. It does come with three panels of a nice sun canopy, though and each seat comes with its own snack tray as well as cup holders for the parents.
Another incredibly lightweight side-by-side stroller is the Valco Baby Snap Trend. It's heavier than Kolcraft Cloud Plus, at 23 pounds. However, it's smaller and smaller (26.5 inches wide!) and has a ton of luxe features that make it perfect for travel. It is easy to fold and very easy to move around. It also is easily able to fit in overhead compartments and trunks of planes.
The Joovy Kooper X2 tri-folds and is ultralight, similar to the Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ Double or Mountain Buggy Nano Duo. It is similar to the Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS but has a few key distinctions. It's also a bit more expensive, but it has more maneuverability and a larger sun canopy. It comes with a convenient strap for carrying and can hold children weighing up to 44 pounds for each seat.
Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+
Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ is a lightweight stroller with a lot of features. It's not just light at 13 lbs but also offers plenty of storage space in the form of parent and child cup holders, a child sippy-cup pocket, a parent storage pocket and much more. It is also compatible with a child's seat and features a flip-flop-friendly brake that is easily engaged. This stroller is designed to expand with your child. It can be converted from a baby to an adult stroller by attaching car seat adapters (sold separately) and it's suitable for children 6 months and older.
The stroller is swivel-wheel only and no locking feature which means it won't be the best choice for steep or rocky terrain. It's still a good choice for families of all sizes, since it can be easily maneuvered on paved surfaces and other smooth surfaces.
This is among the lightest and compact double strollers, with all-size features. The quick-close feature allows the stroller to fold with just one hand and is small enough to fit easily into your trunk or garage. It can also be used an infant stroller and is compatible with most car seats without the need for extra adapters.
Unlike most lightweight travel strollers, the Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ has two separate seats and can hold up to 50 lbs per seat (100 lb total). The seats come with a recline that can be adjusted in multiple positions, separate leg rests, and 3-panel canopies with flip-out sun visors and peekaboo windows.
The seats are padded to ensure your little one's comfort and have a 5-point padded safety harness that can be adjusted to three different heights. Each has a built-in infant cushion, which is great for infants. Parents will love the cup holders for parents and children, along with the child's cup holders, the cell phone holder, and large storage basket. The stroller can also be purchased with the Yoyo+ Board which transforms it into a tandem.
Joovy Kooper X2
The Kooper X2 is an excellent choice for parents seeking a
lightweight double stroller that can carry two children. Its sling-style seats are comfortable and they provide the same amount of headroom as other double strollers. This lets kids sit together. The Kooper X2 is unique in that it offers a fully reclined seat, which makes it a great option for napping. The recline mechanism is simple to use but doesn't go really flat. Kids who are taller may find that they have an unbalanced leg when they sit in a reclined position. It also has a large canopy that we found to be more effective in blocking out sun than other options in our review of the best double strollers.
The stroller is light enough to maneuver through door frames, which was a major issue for us with other strollers we tested. It folds up quickly, and its handlebars are close to the ground, making it easy transportation. Its only flaw is its small storage space, which feels tight when stuffed with things for kids.
Joovy is a family-owned business that makes unique, functional and quality baby products. Their line of products includes innovative baby bottles, like the Joovy Zoom X2 Double stroller and a unique raincover that can be fitted to an array of popular strollers. The prices are reasonable and usually have appealing designs that are appealing to children.
In our tests in the lab, we look at multiple factors in order to assess the ease of use of a
double pram pushchair stroller. This includes the ease with which it is possible to fold and set up, how to adjust the safety harness, and how to open and close brakes. We also lift and carry the strollers folded like they would be placed into a trunk and how to put in and remove a car seat if applicable. We also looked at the strength and durability and also whether each product has a tray for parents that can be used by both children.
The Joovy Kooper X2 earned the top score for ease of use in our most recent update of the top
double buggy strollers guide, and one of the highest scores in our Strollers test program overall. Its user-friendly design comes with one hand, with zero tilt recline and an enormous canopy with ventilation mesh that you can see through even when it is tilted. There are also individual kid trays, built-in cupholders and zipper pockets for parents, and a large storage basket.
