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 with one hand, and then climb and descend stairs this is the model for you.

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

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine its ease to push. A light twin buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame weight limits and it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some fold with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter this can be beneficial when storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for growing families since they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family to accommodate the age of a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when not being used. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a GYMAX Double Seat Stroller: Adjustable Push Handle Pram buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it offers large pop-out canopy which have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get into and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall and pushchairsandprams can be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively small model that has two seats in addition to - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially true with its clever "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 so that it faces parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families with growing children!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can keep an eye on both kids at the park, grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. The doubles also have one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with a large underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are starting out with a growing household. It transforms it into a double-inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, whilst the Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap out the seat with an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're ready for your next adventure with a luxury travel bag and rain cover!
