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

This is the double stroller for you if you want a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from a distance.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get in and out of their seats. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double set that includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family to accommodate a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children fold up in seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help children climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how easy it is to get around with two children in the. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies may be a little longer and could be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate the third 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 different age groups and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for growing families!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both kids while at the grocery store, park or any other place. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with spacious pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children to kick back and relax. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also include a large underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding 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 allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, while the sling seat is an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents. If your kids grow older just swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
