A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking for a light best double strollers stroller that is easy to push with one hand and carry up and down steps this is the model for you.

It features a pair of fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double twin umbrella stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can hold two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to climb in and out of their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This 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 one the main factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single best twin stroller and can be modified to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family to accommodate a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and free up 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 whole thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it offers big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you as well as swing-away bars to assist little ones get in and out of their seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is easy to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs are better than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different ages, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and a single parent cup holder, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, while the sling seat is a great option for newborns to connect with their parents. You can easily swap out the sling seat with an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're ready to go on your next adventure with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
