This is the double stroller that you need in case you’re looking for a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It’s also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously large than other strollers with lightweight designs, double prams for newborn and toddler and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get 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 choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a best double strollers buggy is among the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before purchasing. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial if storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower 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 available on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family to accommodate the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they’re often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them to fit 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 the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you as well as swing-away bars to assist children to get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is easy to move around with both children in the. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its ‘cinema seating’ (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit larger and could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it’s a small pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is the ‘piggyback’ board which can be used to carry the third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever ‘dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds each 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. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
