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

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

It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double pram buggy stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; 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. It's a great choice for suburban and urban 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 among the main factors that determine the ease 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 you purchase. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have a frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family up to a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when 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 tri-fold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight twin buggy Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it has: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies can be a bit larger and may be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a 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 keep an eye on both kids at the park, grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and a reversible cupholder on the seat back. They also have a large underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, while the sling seat offers a great option for newborns to bond with their parents. If your kids get older just switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're ready for your next adventure with a luxury travel bag and rain cover included!
