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, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.

It features a pair of fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features 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. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double stroller sale buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the top sit and stand double stroller bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, even with a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best thule double stroller buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid youngsters to climb into and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is easy to move around with both children on board. Some pushchairs double, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this as can side-byside designs. These buggies may be a bit longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents to provide more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.

Comfort

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

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are beginning with an expanding family. It can transform into a double-inline stroller, which is perfect for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, while the sling seat is an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents.
