A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs<br /><br />This is the double stroller that you need if you want a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.<br /><br />It has two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.<br /><br />Size<br /><br />The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50lbs. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get into and out of their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.<br /><br />Weight<br /><br />The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.<br /><br />Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame weight limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some models fold down with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.<br /><br />The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.<br /><br />Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family until a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.<br /><br />Folding<br /><br />The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.<br /><br />The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.<br /><br />Manoeuvrability<br /><br />When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.<br /><br /><a href="https://fitch-timm.hubstack.net/what-is-double-pushchair-sale-and-why-is-everyone-talking-about-it-1718506491">double pram and pushchair</a> can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.<br /><br />The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate an additional child.<br /><br />Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&amp;teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating options for children of various age groups and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to create more intimate bonding. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.<br /><br />Comfort<br /><br />Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds each and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to sit back and relax. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.<br /><br /><br /><br />If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the phil&amp;teds double kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, while the Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. When your little ones become older just switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're now ready for your next adventure, with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!<br /><br />
