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 is easy to push one-handed and carry up and down steps this is the model for you.

It has two fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that are peekaboo. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for kids to get in and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with the double Pushchairs for twins kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double travel stroller buggy is one of the main factors that determine the ease to push. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and transport however, it may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some also fold down with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is the limit.

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

Tandem buggies start out as a single twin pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when not being used. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the twin buggy from birth. Certain pushchairs are better than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are good at this as can side-byside designs. However, these can be a bit longer overall and so may be difficult to navigate 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 as well as an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both kids while at the grocery store, park or any other place. 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 an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, add the double buggy travel system kit from phil&teds to your dot twin buggy from birth, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, while the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter when your children get older. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included you're set for your next adventure!
