This is the double stroller for you if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It has a pair fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children up to 50 pounds. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb out and in their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the best twin stroller position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies come with 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 useful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double buggy with car seat is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot 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, as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are better than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and so may be difficult to maneuver through doors.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seatback. They also include an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding time. As your children become older, simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag, you're ready for the next adventure!
