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

This is the double stroller that you need if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.

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

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a Chicco OHlalà Twin Double Stroller - Black Review stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get in and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame maximums, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Pushchair: Lightweight Stroller and toddler.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family as high as a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save storage space when 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 trifold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies may be a little longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a small model that has two seats in addition to the most important thing is the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can watch both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to provide real shade. They also have convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, add the double tandem pushchair 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 offers the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop. The Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. If your kids become older just change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're ready for your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
