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

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that is easy to push with one hand and carry up and down stairs This is the perfect model.

It comes with two fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; 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 option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame weight limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a buy. Some also fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful if storage space is at a premium.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they start as a single and double stroller (my webpage) stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, even as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

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

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it has: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children to get into and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double seat stroller stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, these can be slightly longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively small pushchair twin that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can monitor both kids at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 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 children to kick back and relax. They also come with convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are starting out with a growing household. It will transform it into a double-inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. If your kids become older just swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag and ready for the next adventure!
