If you're looking for a light double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and take up and down steps this is the model for you.

Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket that has a a capacity of 25 lbs cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame maximums and it's important to check the details of each model before you purchase. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial if storage space is at a premium.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they require only 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 on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family, even up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children fold up in seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and also save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus however, its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help children climb in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller children.
all terrain double stroller
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are a bit 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 an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can carry a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.
