This is the double stroller that you need If you're looking for a light stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also simple 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 have UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other key features include a self-standing basket that has a capacity of 25 pounds, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids to get into and out of their seats. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Some also fold with the seats removed to make them smaller and lighter this can be beneficial if storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. double tandem pushchair is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families since they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, even up to a 3rd child. They are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The most compact double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it has large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help little ones to get into and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how easy it is to get around with two children on board. Certain pushchairs are better than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry a third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits' that turns into an inline buggy. It has different seating options for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also comes with a storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families that are growing.

The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.
