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

This is the double stroller that you need in case you're looking for a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50 lbs. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have spacious 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 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with the cheap double buggy set which includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain Double Prams For Infant And Toddler buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them ideal for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies begin as a single 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 seating configurations so they can grow with your family to accommodate a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help children to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is easy to move around with two children on board. Certain pushchairs are better than others such as the iCandy Orange'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 a bit longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can monitor both kids at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to offer real shade. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also have an ample underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are just beginning to build an expanding family. It transforms it into a cheap double buggy inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, while the sling seat is a fab newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding time. As your children grow older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
