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 is easy to push with one hand and take up and down steps this is the model for you.

It has two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other notable features include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven all terrain double stroller.

Most double pushchair sale buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family as high as a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double push chair buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help little ones to get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, these can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of various ages and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for more intimate bonding. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 pounds each and come with spacious pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to kick back and relax. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and a single and double stroller parent cup holder as well as a huge underseat basket.
