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

This is the sit n stand double stroller stroller 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 has a pair fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb out and in their seats and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice 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 a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double push chair buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial when storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides 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 hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair twin, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, even up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best small double Buggy converts to single buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it has: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help youngsters get into and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a small model that has two seats in addition to - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of different ages, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket that is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have an individual cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It is easy to swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter as your children get older. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included, you're ready for your next adventure!
