This is the double stroller for you if you want a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats are 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 buggy converts to single (Dadazpharma.com) stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50lbs. Its seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get into and out of their seats and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

most compact double stroller double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice to fit 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 toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and also save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help children to climb into and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can watch both children at the grocery store, park or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. The doubles come with cups for both parents and a an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.
