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

If you're looking for a light Smallest Double Buggy stroller that is easy to push with one hand, and then carry up and down stairs this is the model for you.

It has a pair fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from a distance.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb in and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double tandem pushchair is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for growing families since they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family up to a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it has big pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. These buggies can be a bit longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively small twin pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate the third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children of up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to sit back and relax. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are just beginning to build a growing household. It can transform into a double stroller, which is perfect for both newborns and toddlers. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding. As your children become older just change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag you're set for your next adventure!
