Best Double Lightweight Strollers of 2011/2012

Double strollers or twin strollers come in either a tandem (one in front of the other) or side-by-side seating design.

Most parents who choose a tandem stroller use it for only a short while and then buy a double lightweight stroller or another type of double stroller with a side-by-side seating configuration. Why? Because tandem strollers are more difficult to push and the brand choices aren't as good quality as for side-by-sides. Also, children seem to prefer being next to each other, which helps keep the peace. However, keep in mind that some side-by-side strollers are only suitable for babies who can hold their head up (around 6 months of age).

Where to Find the Best Deals

So, once you've decided which double lightweight stroller you want to purchase - by doing research on the Internet - go to a store and try it out (if you can), then buy it online for a lot less.

Shipping can sometimes be expensive, so see if you can get an online coupon (a special discount) from websites such as EdealsEtc.com or FatWallet.com. The money you save doing this can then be used for something else.

Happy shopping!
