If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller double that you can push with one hand, and then carry up and down steps this is the model for you.

It features a pair of fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double infant strollers strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds and cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. It's a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add 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 configurations, meaning they can grow with your family until three children. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The most effective double umbrella stroller buggies for young children fold in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which 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 lightweight weight is an advantage, but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how easy it is to get around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies can be a bit longer and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating options for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.

These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to sit back and relax. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.
