This is the double stroller double for you If you're looking for a light, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.

Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a smallest double buggy stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are larger large than other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket that has a a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children get into and out their seats. It's a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine its ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain sit n stand double stroller buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have an overall frame limit. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at an all-time low.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family to accommodate the age of a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for stokke double stroller buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it comes with big pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters get in and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy. It has two different seating options for children of different age groups and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to create more intimate bonding. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.

These lightweight doubles are able to hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade.
