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

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

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side thule double stroller stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. 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 important features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get out and in their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame limits which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact twin stroller. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them ideal to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they start as a single and double stroller stroller, but can be modified to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus however, it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, you need to consider 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, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate an additional child.

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

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to sit back and relax. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as one cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike.
