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

This is the double twin stroller side by side you need if you want a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of their seats. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Some also fold down with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful if storage space is at an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are great for growing families because they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second hand double buggy seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, up to a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. 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 experienced testers can do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

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

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. 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, as it's a relatively narrow twin pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added as well as - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can carry the third child.

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits' that turns it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both children at the grocery store, park or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds each and come with generous 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 little ones to relax and kick back. They also have convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have one cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are just beginning to build an expanding family. It transforms it into a double stroller that is ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is an excellent baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It is easy to swap the seat for an infant car adapter as your children get older. You're ready for your next adventure, with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
