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

It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopies with windows that can be seen from a distance.

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 bigger than other lightweight double strollers double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 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 children to get out and in their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine its ability to push. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have a frame limit. Some fold with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial when storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family with a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double pushchair buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. However, these can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 Pushchair Double is a great example, as it's a compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and - most importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits' that turns it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or wherever else using 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 which can be extended enough to offer real shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also include a large underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat is a great option for newborns to bond with their parents. You can easily swap the seat for an infant car adapter as your children get older. With a premium rain cover and travel bag included, you're ready to go on your next adventure!
