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

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that you can push with one hand, and then climb and descend stairs, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50lbs. Its seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and compact Twin stroller a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get out and in their seats and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven all terrain double stroller - More methods -.

Most double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame limits and it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some fold with the seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful if storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family until the age of a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The most effective best double strollers buggies for young children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our oldest testers could 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 also the features it comes with big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help little ones get into and out of their seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in useful. However, they can be a bit longer overall and can be tricky to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for growing families!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. They also come with cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, and the sling seat is the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. If your kids become older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included you're set for your next adventure!
