Jeep Destination Ultralight Double Stroller

In this jeep destination ultralight double stroller review, the Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller ranks seventh of eight in our best double strollers guide, and it earns the label for the best lightweight side-by-side for older kids. Priced at $246.49, it holds two children up to 40 pounds each, 80 pounds total, and it carries a 4.6-star rating from 2,066 Amazon ratings. Delta Children builds the frame from aluminum, and it weighs 28.7 pounds, light enough for one adult to lift into a trunk. On top of that, it arrives with no assembly required, and the standing fold measures 13.4 inches thick, so it stores behind a door. Compared with the tandem models in our guide, the side-by-side layout gives both kids the same view of the world.

In practice, the seat limits and the harness matter most. Each of the two seats holds up to 40 pounds, so this stroller fits toddlers and preschoolers rather than small babies, and both seats use a 5-point harness with reflective shoulder pads. The aluminum frame weighs 28.7 pounds and measures 36.2 inches deep, 29.5 inches wide and 41.7 inches high, which means one adult can lift it while holding a door open. Meanwhile, the 1680D fabric on the seats and canopy is water resistant and wipes clean, a plus when snacks and juice travel along. Storage covers one under-seat bin and two cup holders. Pop-out SPF 50 visors and peek-a-boo windows keep both kids shaded and visible, and the swivel bars make it easier to seat a child quickly. Assembly is not required, so it is ready from the box.

On value, $246.49 buys a 4.6-star double stroller with more than 2,000 Amazon ratings, and the 28.7-pound frame is the main reason it earns a place in our guide. That said, the 7-inch front wheels and rubber tires are not built for gravel, grass or jogging, and there is no jogging lock, so runners should choose another model in our guide. The warranty covers 90 days on parts only, which is short for a stroller at this price. Even so, for two older toddlers who ride sidewalks, malls and paved paths, the thin 13.4-inch fold, the carry strap and the 80-pound total capacity are hard to beat. If that sounds like your family, this is the one to get.
