If you're looking for a light double stroller that's easy to push with one hand and carry up and down stairs this is the model for you.

It comes with two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller For Twins with Car seats. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds and cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family up to a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid youngsters climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is easy to move around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs are better than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. These buggies can be a bit longer and can be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista Hauck Duett 2 Double Pushchair - Black Reversible Compact is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like 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 offers two seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can watch both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also include an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot twin buggy to transform it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, while the sling seat provides the perfect opportunity for babies to connect with their parents. When your little ones become older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go.
