If you're looking for a light double stroller that you can push one-handed and take up and down stairs This is the perfect model.

It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars to help kids to get into and out of their seats. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes 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 the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double umbrella stroller buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some also fold with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at an all terrain double stroller-time low.

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

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing since they begin as a single to double pushchair stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family up to the age of a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it has: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters get in and out of their seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to take into account 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 other models.

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this as can side-byside designs. However, these can be slightly longer overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats and the most important thing is the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!
