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's easy to push one-handed and carry up and down steps, this is the one.

It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). 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 hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get into and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. 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 buggie will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have an overall frame limit. Some fold with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies begin as a single and double stroller pushchair but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, even up to a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. 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, which even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus, but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit larger and may be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate a third child.

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

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, in the grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also have convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have a single parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double buggy sale, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, while the sling seat provides the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. As your children grow older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
