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

This is the double stroller you need in case you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.

It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 compact double stroller stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame maximums and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is simple to move around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies may be a bit longer and may be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats, and more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids while at the grocery store, park or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for the little ones to sit back and relax. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also have a large underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, while the sling seat is a fab newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding. If your kids get older, simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag, you're ready for your next adventure!
