A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that's easy to push with one hand and take up and down stairs, this is the one.
It has two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double pushchair sale stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get in and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame maximums, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is the limit.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family to accommodate three children. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.
Folding
The best double travel stroller buggies for small children fold up in seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help children to get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability especially how easy it is to get around with two children in the. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively small twin pushchair from birth that allows two seats to be added as well as the most compact double stroller important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can carry a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.
Comfort

These lightweight doubles are able to hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to give shade. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.
