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 simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It features a pair of fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are more spacious than the other Double pram Buggy strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double car seat stroller buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them ideal for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double buggy with carrycot is one of lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller, but can be modified to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, even with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them 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 whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help little ones to climb into and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller children.

Manoeuvrability

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

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies may be a little longer and could be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a small model that has two seats in addition to more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit that transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. It is a great option for growing families!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can watch both children at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with spacious pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for little ones to relax and kick back. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double car seat stroller kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding. You can easily swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter once your children get older. With a premium rain cover and travel bag, you're ready for the next adventure!
