This is the best double stroller stroller double you need If you're looking for a light, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with windows that can be seen from a distance.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50lbs. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double pram pushchair strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for kids to get in and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, even with a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their car and save storage space when not in use. For example, 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 trifold 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 however, so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is easy to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry a third child.

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

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also come with a large underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding. When your little ones get older just switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're ready for your next adventure, with a luxury travel bag and rain cover!
