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 seat stroller stroller that you can push one-handed and carry up and down steps, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double travel stroller stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get in and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with the double running stroller kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame maximums, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

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

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair twin, 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 configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold up in seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. For example 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 tri-fold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it comes with big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you as well as swing-away bars to assist children get into and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is easy to move around with both children aboard. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a bit larger and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and the most important thing is the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families that are growing.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seatback. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are just beginning to build a growing family. It will transform it into a double infant stroller-inline stroller that is ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It is easy to swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're ready to go on your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
