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 you can push one-handed and climb and descend stairs, this is the one.

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

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get into and out of their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double set that includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat, and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing since they begin as a single twin stroller side by side but can be modified to accommodate a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family as high as a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window 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 factors to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Certain pushchairs double, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats and more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both kids at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children of up to 50 pounds each and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to sit back and relax. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is an excellent newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter once your children get older. You're ready for your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover!
