A small double pushchair from birth buggy (Going at Google) That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

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

It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50lbs. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double push chair set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine its ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.

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

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family to accommodate three children. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightweight double stroller weight is a plus however, so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid children to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, you need 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 more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this as can side-byside designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to - most importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to offer real shade. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're just beginning to build an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike.
