If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and take up and down steps this is the model for you.

It features a pair of fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can hold two children weighing up to 50 pounds. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for kids to get in and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the best double buggy position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight while others have a frame limit. Some fold with the seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of 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 baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family up to 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 more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best small cheap double buggy buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to sit back and relax. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also have a large underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are just beginning to build an expanding family.
