The Joovy Kooper X2 double pushchairs stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 pounds.

Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
most compact double stroller double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Some fold with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is a premium.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side by side double stroller-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight double buggy on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat they are 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, with a third child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most compact double stroller senior testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help little ones climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, they can be more substantial overall and can be tricky to navigate 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 accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different ages and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, grocery store or any other place. These Lightweight Double Stroller doubles can hold two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seatback. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.
