This is the double stroller that you need if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.
It comes with two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats are 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 50 pounds. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb out and in their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have an overall frame limit. Some models fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, these can be slightly longer overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, in the grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to hold two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. The doubles also have one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.
