This is the double stroller that 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 comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. 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 into and out their seats. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine its ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame limits which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a buy. Some also fold with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families since they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help children get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a small pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.
