double buggy that converts to single
When looking for a light double stroller the weight and size are key factors to consider. When not in use, choose one that is easy to maneuver and compact. This will make it easier to put it in your car trunk, and also to navigate through airport gates and international roads.
The best lightweight strollers feature a light, intuitive fold and self-standing mechanism to lessen the burden on parents' bodies. Many also come with a wide range of seating configurations and can accommodate infant car seat carriers.
Kolcraft Cloud Plus
Created for families that are on the move. Compact and light weight, it has an easy fold with one hand. All-terrain wheels, front suspension and multi-position reclining seats can accommodate children up to 50 lbs. Trays for parents and children with a large storage basket as well as 3-tier canopy that has a the ability to peek through the window for maximum sun protection.
The Cloud earned one of the lowest scores on our quality tests due to a flimsy feel as well as hard plastic seats and a design that is old-fashioned. It's also more expensive than other strollers with lighter weights and is therefore not the best choice in the event you're looking for a low-cost option.
It's not the lightest stroller but it comes with enough features that it is worth considering. Its swiveling front wheels make it easy to move on flat surfaces, and it can leap over curbs with little effort unlike other light strollers that diverge when trying to do the same thing. The Cloud's low, nearly knee-high handle is a drawback. It's not adjustable, and it's not adjustable. It's difficult to push it while your legs are dangling in this manner. And the absence of padding doesn't make it any easier.
In our tests during our testing, we found the Cloud to be easy to set up and open. To close it, it's a bit more difficult. You need to slide the slider, and then press a large white button. This can be quite a hassle especially if you're juggling kids while doing it.
The Cloud comes with a tiny, but deep storage basket. It's large enough to accommodate the size of a large diaper bag. It's a bit narrow however you'll probably need to put something in to reach the back to retrieve it. The Cloud includes two tray for parents and a child tray each with two cup holders. Both are too small for larger cups or bottles.

Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS
Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS is an extremely lightweight, minimalist double stroller that's perfect for traveling. It's extremely light at 18 lbs (lighter than many single strollers!) and folds flat for easy transport and storage. It also has independently reclining seats, as well as large SPF50 sunvisors with a peekaboo view. The visors can be adjusted to fit children of different heights. It also has an integrated parking brake with one step, and is Disney-size approved.
Jeep's swivel wheel system is also ideal for maneuvering over bumps and uneven terrain. However, this stroller doesn't accept car seats and therefore your children must be at least 6+ months old and have solid neck control in order to ride in the front seat. It does come with a nice, three panel sun canopy, however and each seat comes with its own snack tray, as well as parent cupholders.
Valco Baby Snap Duo Trend is another incredibly lightweight stroller that can be used side by side. It's heavier than the Kolcraft Cloud Plus, at 23 lbs. However, it's tinier and smaller (26.5 inches wide!) It has a lot of exquisite details that make it ideal for travel. It's a simple fold, is very movable and fits into trunks and overhead compartments of airplanes easily.
The Joovy Kooper X2 tri-folds and is ultralight, similar to the Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ Double or Mountain Buggy Nano Duo. It's quite similar to the Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS, however, it does have some distinct differences. It's also a little more expensive, but it also has more maneuverability and an extra sun canopy. It comes with a handy carrying strap and can accommodate children who weigh up to 44 pounds for each seat.
Summer 3D Pac for Infants CS+
If you're looking for a stroller that's light in weight but also packed with features you'll find it in the Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+. It's not only crazy lightweight at 13 pounds and comes with plenty of storage in the form of child and parent cup holders, a sippy cup for children pocket and a parent storage pocket, and more. The stroller is also compatible with a child's chair and comes with a brake with a flip-flop feature that can be easily engaged. This stroller is designed to expand along with your child. It can be converted from a baby stroller into a toddler stroller simply by attaching the car seat adapters (sold separate) and it's suitable for children ages six months and over.
This stroller only has swivel wheels and no locking feature which means it won't be the best option for steep or rocky terrain. It's still a good choice for families with children, since it is able to be easily maneuvered on smooth surfaces as well as smooth surfaces.
This stroller is one of the most lightweight double strollers with full-size features and a sleek, compact design. It folds easily with one hand and stored in the trunk or garage. It can also be used a stroller for travel and is compatible with a variety of car seats without the need for additional adapters.
In contrast to most strollers that are lightweight, the Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ has two separate seats that can accommodate up to 50 pounds per seat (100 pounds total). The seats feature individual leg rests as well as 3-panel canopy that has an open-top sunvisor and a peekaboo window.
The seats are padded to ensure the comfort of your child. They also come with a 5-point safety harness that can be adjusted in three different height positions. Each seat comes with a built-in infant cushion, which is ideal for newborns. The cup holders for parent and child, the cell phone holders and the big storage basket will be appreciated by parents. The stroller is also available with the Yoyo+ Board which transforms it into a tandem.
Joovy Kooper X2
The Kooper X2 double stroller is a great choice for parents who want a light double stroller that can carry two kids. Its sling style seats are comfortable and offer the same amount of headroom as other double strollers. This lets kids sit together. In contrast to other strollers that are side-by-side this one Kooper X2 offers a fully reclined seat, which is an ideal spot to nap. Its recline feature is simple to use, however it's not a perfect flat. Taller children may have legs hanging out when in reclined positions. It also has a big canopy that we found to be more effective in blocking out sun than other options in our evaluation of the top double strollers.
The stroller is light enough to easily maneuver through door frames, which was a major problem for us with other strollers we tested. It is easy to fold and the handlebars are close to the ground. Its only drawback is its small storage space. When full of kids' stuff, it feels squeezed.

We've also assessed the durability and strength of each model, as well as whether it has a parent tray that can accommodate both child tray.
