A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that you can 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 have UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from a distance.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of double buggies will determine its ease of pushing. In double tandem pushchair , a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded 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 models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family to accommodate a third child. They are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid children get in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and can be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and - most importantly - a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.
