If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and climb and descend stairs This is the perfect model.

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 lbs. The seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs, 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 suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before purchasing. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have an overall frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial when storage space is at an all-time low.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back 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 on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family up to three children. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are more substantial overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry a third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!
