If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and take up and down steps, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows.

Size


The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly 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 main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. 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 are perfect for growing families because they start as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it offers big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters get in and out of seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.

double to single buggy , three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie.
