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

This is the double twin stroller that you need if you want a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for kids to get out and in their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven all terrain double stroller.

Check the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have an overall frame limit. Some models fold down with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact double stroller and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at a premium.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children since they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family up to the age of a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced 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 buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it offers big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry an additional child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different ages, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide more intimate bonding. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can watch both children at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a a reversible cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have a large underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit to your dot twin buggy from birth, transforming it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, while the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents. When your little ones grow older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag included and ready for your next adventure!
