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

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

It comes with two fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with the capacity of 25lbs, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is helpful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold cheap double stroller is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, up to a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily, in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help little ones get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is simple to move around with two children aboard. Certain twin pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in useful. However, these can be more substantial overall and can be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can monitor both kids at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as a single parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat offers an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter when your children get older. You're ready for your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
