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

This is the double stroller you need in case you're looking for a lightweight double buggy stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double pushchairs stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them ideal for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted 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 grow along with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The best small double stroller double buggies fold up easily, in just a few seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can fit 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 trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid little ones get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact twin stroller double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. These buggies can be a bit longer and could be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for an intimate bonding experience. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe 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 per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are starting out with an expanding family. It transforms it into a double inline stroller, which is perfect for both newborns and toddlers.
