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

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

It has two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side cheap double pushchair stroller that can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to climb out and in their seats and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-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 might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame limits and it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some also fold down with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is a premium.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also narrower 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 hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, up to a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus however, so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is simple to move around with two children in the. Certain Pushchairs And prams, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are more substantial overall and can be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also comes with a storage basket that is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for little ones to relax and kick back. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding time. If your kids get older, simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
