If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that you can push with one hand and carry up and down steps, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

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 the other double stroller with bassinet strollers with lightweights and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket that has a capacity of 25 pounds, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double pram pushchair set that includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

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

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some cheap double buggy buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller 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 baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, with a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they're not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option 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 to help youngsters get in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel 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.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they are slightly longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a narrow twin pushchair that still allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can carry the third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds each and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and a single parent cup holder as well as a huge underseat basket.
