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

This is the double stroller you need if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50 lbs. Its seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get out and in their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double jogging stroller buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact double buggy, which can be useful if storage space is at a premium.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as one twin pushchair from birth, but they come with adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

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

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters get in and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can watch both children at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, while the sling seat is a great option for newborns to bond with their parents. When your little ones grow older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
