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

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that you can push with one hand, and then take up and down stairs this is the model for you.

It comes with two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get out and in their seats and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready to grow double stroller with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is a premium.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, even with a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their cars and also save storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help little ones get in and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to think about when selecting the right size double twin buggy from birth is its maneuverability especially how easy it is to get around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a compact model that can accommodate two seats in addition to the most important thing is the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.

Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits which transforms into an inline buggy. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can watch both kids at the park, grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with large pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for little ones to sit back and relax. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and a single parent cup holder as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're just beginning to build an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent mobility, while the sling seat is a great option for newborns to connect with their parents. You can easily swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter as your children get older. With a premium rain cover and travel bag and ready for the next adventure!
