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 climb and descend stairs, this is the one.

It has a pair fixed seats, sit and stand double stroller up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double car seat stroller stroller is a side-by-side double buggy for twins stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb out and in their seats and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you purchase. Certain double stroller with car seat buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. 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 front and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single and double stroller pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and also save storage space when 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 tri-fold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it offers big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters get in and out of seats and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children in 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 up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children 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, plus a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are beginning with a growing family. It will transform it into a double inline stroller that is ideal for both newborns and toddlers. The clever 3-wheel design provides the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding. You can easily swap out the sling seat with an infant car adapter when your children get older. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag, you're ready to go on your next adventure!
