A Small Double best twin buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

This is the double stroller that you need if you want a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double twin umbrella stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. The seats are more spacious than the other double seat stroller strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is helpful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, even with a third child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help youngsters to get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double pushchairs stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to best travel double stroller in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. These buggies may be a bit longer and can be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added, and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with large pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to sit back and relax. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also have an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double pushchairs kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the ultimate face to face bonding time. You can easily swap out the seat for an infant car adapter once your children grow older. You're ready for your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
