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

This is the double stroller that you need in case you're looking for a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. 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 an angular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger large than other lightweight double Running stroller strollers and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It 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 buggy is one the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family until the age of a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double stroller for twins buggie. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children to get into and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others at this such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a bit larger and could be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can monitor both children at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to sit n stand double stroller back and relax. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double stroller sale ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the sling seat is a fab newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding. You can easily swap out the seat for an infant car adapter when your children get older. You're ready to go on your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
