A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller you need If you're looking for a light one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.
It has two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double buggy side by side stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double buggy with carrycot strollers, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before purchasing. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able ready to grow double stroller fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies in the back of their car and save storage space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for cheap double stroller buggie. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it comes with large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help children to get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to think about 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 more efficient at this than others.
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be useful. However, they can be a bit longer overall and so may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats, and the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns into an inline buggy. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is a great option for growing families!
