A Small Double Buggy 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 then carry up and down steps, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are more generously large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine the ability to push. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and carry however, it may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have an overall frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and also save storage space when not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it has big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help children get into and out of their seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for little ones.

Push Chairs And Prams

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.

Comfort


Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to provide real shade. They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have an individual cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, while the sling seat is the perfect opportunity for babies to connect with their parents. You can easily swap out the sling seat with an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're now ready for your next adventure with a luxury travel bag and rain cover!
