A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking for a light double stroller that is easy to push with one hand and carry up and down steps, this is the one.

It features a pair of fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family up to three children. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best twin buggy double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window as well as swing-away bars to assist children get in and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some Pushchairs And Prams are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall and can be tricky to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, whilst the Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the ultimate face to face bonding time. As your children become older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
