Why You Should Focus On Improving Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller that you need if you want a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.
It has two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double running stroller stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 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 to get into and out of their seats. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven all terrain double stroller.
Check the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight and others have an overall frame limit. Some double jogging stroller buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, 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 an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family up to a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it has big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is easy to move around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
Narrow tandem double stroller buggies can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and - most importantly - a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit that transforms into an inline buggy. It has two different seating options for children of various ages, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles also feature cups for both parents and a a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also have a large underseat storage basket.
