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

If you're looking for a light double twin Umbrella stroller that's easy to push one-handed and carry up and down stairs, this is the one.

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

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can accommodate two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing bin with capacity of 25 pounds and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

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

Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family until three children. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid youngsters get in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is easy to move around with both children in the. 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.

Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively small model that has two seats in addition to the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are starting out with a growing household. It transforms it into a double stroller, which is great for both newborns and toddlers. The clever 3-wheel design makes for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, and the sling seat offers a great option for newborns to connect with their parents. You can easily swap the sling seat for an infant car adapter as your children get older. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag, you're ready for the next adventure!
