How easy to push DL strollers?

[2ndStar]

I ask because I just had a little "work" done and am not really supposed to be pushing anything, but the opportunity for a last-minute (in three days!) DL trip with out of state friends just came up and I really want to go. They've offered to help handle my kids (ages 4 & 6) and I plan to let them, but I don't want to totally depend on them. I'm thinking of letting them push the kids into the park with my umbrella stroller and then switch to a DL stroller which I might occassionally push my youngest in as well. How much man-handling do they take to push & turn?

because of the weight of your kids being 4 and 6, it may be too much for you. It definately won't be too much for them though.

Are they easier to push than regular strollers?

No, they are not easier to push than a regular (good) stroller.

They are easier to push than an umbrella stroller, though. Especially with bigger kids. We tried our umbrella, and it was a huge struggle. DL strollers are big comfy joggers, and quite easy to push. My almost-6-DD had no problem fitting comfortably in one.

A toddler would be super easy for pushing but to me, it's all a weight factor. If I put my 4 year old in a DL stroller Vs my regular stroller, I much prefer the DL one.
