A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller for you in case you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.
It has two fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight double pushchair, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other key features include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter twin buggy is easier to lift and transport however, it may not have as much 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 weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model before you buy. Some double buggies can be folded 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 usually the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
tandem double buggy buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family up to three children. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it has big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help little ones to get into and out of seats and reclined chair and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is 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 better at this than other models.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. These buggies may be a bit longer and could be difficult to get through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents for more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. This is 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 keep an eye on both children at the park, grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds each and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for little ones to kick back and relax. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
