A Small double buggy travel system Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and climb and descend steps this is the model for you.

It comes with two fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows.

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. The seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the key factors that will determine its ease to push. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you buy. Some also fold down with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at an all terrain double stroller-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold Double stroller with cup Holder is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double stroller double stroller with car seat buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their car and also save storage space when they are not in use. 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 most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it has large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help little ones to get into and out of seats and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. However, these can be a bit longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry the third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely flexible. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both children at the park, at the grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to kick back and relax. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit 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 offers the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. When your little ones get older just change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included and ready for your next adventure!
