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

This is the double stroller for you if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double stroller double strollers, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double pram and pushchair buggie will determine its ability to push. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight and others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single double stroller pushchair but come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family to accommodate a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus however, so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that aid little ones climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate the third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.

Comfort

With narrow tandem twin strollers for newborns or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can keep an eye on both kids at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are just beginning to build a growing household. It transforms it into a double stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, while the Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. You can easily swap the seat for an infant car adapter when your children get older. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included, you're ready for your next adventure!
