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 double that's easy to push one-handed and carry up and down stairs this is the model for you.

It comes with two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some also fold with the seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doorways. 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 that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The lightweight twin stroller Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a cheap double stroller buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it has big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help little ones to get into and out of seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. These buggies can be a little longer and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. You can easily swap the seat with an infant car adapter once your children get older. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included you're set for the next adventure!
