This is the double stroller you need in case you're looking for a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.
It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50 lbs.
double buggy are more generously large than other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs and cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats.
twin pushchair is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame maximums, so it's important to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal for fitting through 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 are great for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their cars and also save storage 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 senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it has big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and could be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can carry a third child.
twin pushchair -wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits which transforms into an inline buggy. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents for an intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!
