A Small Double 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 stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It’s also simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies 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 lbs. The seats are larger than the other cheap double pushchair strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other notable features include a self-standing basket with the capacity of 25lbs cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

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

Check the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies come with a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful when storage space is at a premium.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. 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 begin as a single to double stroller pushchair but come with adapters to add an additional 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, even as high as a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they’re usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For instance 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 experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to think about when selecting a compact double stroller with infant car seat buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is easy to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its ‘cinema seating’ (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and could be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it’s a comparatively small double buggy model that has two seats in addition to more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever ‘dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!
