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

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that you can push with one hand and take up and down stairs this is the model for you.

It features a pair of fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. The seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most Shop Double Pushchairs for Twins and Siblings buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family up to a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. 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, which even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of their seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.

Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and could be difficult to get through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to provide more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 pounds each and come with large pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the back of the seat. They also include a large underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are beginning with an expanding family. It will transform it into a double inline stroller, which is perfect for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop. The sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter once your children grow older. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag and ready to go on your next adventure!
