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 you can push one-handed and take up and down stairs This is the perfect model.

It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from a distance.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders for one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get out and in their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy with car seat buggy is one of the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame maximums and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing because they begin as a Single to double buggy stroller, but can be modified to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family to accommodate three children. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it has large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you as well as swing-away bars to assist little ones to get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most compact double stroller important things to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is easy to move around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs are better than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doors.

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

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

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children to sit n stand double stroller back and relax. The doubles also have a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are beginning with a growing family. It transforms it into a double inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, and the sling seat provides the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. You can easily swap out the seat with an infant car adapter once your children grow older. With a premium rain cover and travel bag, you're ready for the next adventure!
