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

This is the nipper double buggy stroller you need in case you're looking for a lightweight Double stroller, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy that has 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 50 pounds. The seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double pushchair double strollers 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 capacity of 25 pounds and cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with the double push chair kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine the ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Some also fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial when storage space is at an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single to double stroller stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family to accommodate three children. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets 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 has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double seat stroller buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid youngsters get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a bit larger and could be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely flexible. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various ages, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for growing families!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to give shade. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, while the sling seat is a great option for newborns to connect with their parents. You can easily swap the seat with an infant car adapter once your children grow older. You're ready for your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
