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

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and carry up and down steps this is the model for you.

It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double jogging stroller stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy comes with spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family up to a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters to get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is easy to move around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. These buggies may be a bit larger and could be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a small model that has two additional seats and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating options for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also come with 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 buggy sale kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline sit n stand double Stroller ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, while the sling seat offers the perfect opportunity for babies to connect with their parents. It is easy to swap the seat with an infant car adapter as your children grow older. You're ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
