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

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

It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously large than other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy comes with spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine its ease to push. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before purchasing. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since 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 can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family with a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in just a few seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that aid little ones get in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. 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 come in handy. However, they can be more substantial overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to kick back and relax. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are beginning with an expanding family. It can transform into a double twin umbrella stroller, which is perfect for both newborns and toddlers. The innovative 3-wheel design offers an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. If your kids get older, simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure with a luxury travel bag and rain cover included!
