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 climb and descend stairs, this is the one.

It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get into and out of their seats and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double infant strollers kit that includes a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you purchase. Some models fold down with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family, as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double travel buggy buggies. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist children get into and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, these can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doors.

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

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different ages and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can keep an eye on both children at the park, at the grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for little ones to kick back and relax. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as a single parent cup holder as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double buggy with carrycot, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding. When your little ones become older just switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to grow double stroller to go.
