A small double buggy; recent Xojh blog post, That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

This is the double stroller for you in case you're looking for a lightweight double buggy, easy-to-push one-handed twin umbrella stroller. It's also easy 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+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get in and out of their seats. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy that converts to single buggy is among the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Some also fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight double pushchair on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family to accommodate a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help children get in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how easy it is to get around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution 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 at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to provide real shade. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and a reversible cupholder on the seat back. They also have an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds thule double stroller kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding. If your kids get older just change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover!
