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

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that is easy to push with one hand and carry up and down stairs, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double infant strollers stroller double is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get in and out of their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be easier to lift and transport however, it may not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double running buggy buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double stroller with car seat is among the most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family until the age of a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies in the back of their car and also save storage 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 entire thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with two children aboard. Some Pushchairs double, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are good at this, as are side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns 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 the parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or any other place. These lightweight double pushchair doubles are able to accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. The doubles also have a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also include an enormous underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are just beginning to build an expanding family. It transforms it into a double stroller that is ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for easy kerb popping and superior mobility, while the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents. You can easily swap out the seat with an infant car adapter as your children get older. With a premium rain cover and travel bag included you're set for the next adventure!
