Lightweight compact double stroller?

I'm looking for a double stroller that folds like umbrella and that is really lightweight. If it can take a car seat, it would be great!!!
Any ideas, please?

Search Graco...

I love my graco - it can take the infant seat easily - but it is not light.

I don't like the way the combi steers. It feels pretty flimsy. You should check out the Iglesina swift.

I've had the maclaren that doesn't go all the way back. I's very light and folds like an umbrella stroller and easy to steer. I don't know about the car seat though, but you may be able to wedge on in.

combi has all the maalos except big walking wheels Exclamation

have you looked into the peg perego aero? it is a really good double stroller. it is very light weight and it pushes very nicely. it has a big basket, I dont think that it lyes flat for a newborn. you also are not able to put an infant seat in. I think it is a great stroller.

Aria doesn't take a car seat and is more flimsy than the Combi
Graco is not lightweight nor compact
And Inglesina doesn't take a car seat and isn't lightweight for an umbrella stroller.

I have a Combi. Not the car seat that comes with it, but it does take a Combi car seat. It's not as sturdy as my Zooper single, and I can't expect it to be for the weight it is, but it steers pretty easily. The wheel size is a drawback, but it's light enough that I can pick it up over the bumps if necessary. Folds very compactly (we went away for Pesach in a 5 seat car with every seat filled, the double stroller, and all our luggage and it all fit! With a non-compact stroller, forget it.) The seats don't go 100% upright, and it bothered my son at first, but now he's a little bigger and can pull himself up if he's leaning a little back, and he sits that way. Opening it is the easiest thing, closing does take 2 hands. But at 21 lbs. with an umbrella fold and suitable for a newborn, it's worth it. Baskets are shvach, and I put hooks on mine, but all in all it was the only stroller that fit my necessary criteria. Also, since it has a bar, you can push it one handed which is what I do a lot. I got last year's model for 229 a few months ago. Previous year ones are even cheaper, and the only they've changed recently was the color scheme Wink
