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 twin stroller side by side that you can push with one hand and climb and descend stairs This is the perfect model.

It has two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side smallest double buggy stroller. It can hold two children up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children get into and out their seats. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair double, but they come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, even up single to double buggy a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact twin stroller double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it has large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they can be slightly longer overall and can be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats and the most important thing is a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

Comfort

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

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are starting out with a growing household. It transforms it into a double inline stroller, which is perfect for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, and the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents. If your kids grow older just swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover!
