A small double buggy (My Site) That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking for a light double stroller that you can push with one hand and carry up and down stairs, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other notable features include a self-standing basket that has a a capacity of 25 lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids 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 a double buggy is one the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame weight limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest double stroller models, as they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family to accommodate the age of a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double travel stroller buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help children climb in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. However, they are a bit longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin pushchair from birth is an excellent example, since it's a small model that has two additional seats and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the double push chair kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent mobility, while the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents. When your little ones become older just switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. With a premium rain cover and travel bag you're set for the next adventure!
