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 with one hand and climb and descend steps This is the perfect model.

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

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 bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame maximums, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side single and double stroller can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing since they begin as a single to double pushchair stroller but can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family to accommodate three children. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in just a few seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can 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 lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double stroller with bassinet buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters get in and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double compact twin stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be more substantial overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.

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 can carry two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to sit back and relax. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, add the double jogging stroller kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior mobility, while the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents.
