If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that is easy to push with one hand and take up and down steps, this is the one.

It features a pair of fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double to single buggy stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are more spacious 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 capacity of 25 pounds, cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double infant stroller buggy is one of the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and transport however, it may not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to you purchase. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice 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 are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus however, its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help little ones to climb into and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and may 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 an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate an additional child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to provide more intimate bonding.
