A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller you need if you want a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.
It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a 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 more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family up to the age of a third child. most compact double stroller pushchairsandprams tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid little ones get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is simple to move around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry the 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" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for the little ones to sit back and relax. They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have a single parent cup holder, plus a large underseat basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are just beginning to build an expanding family. It can transform into a double inline stroller, which is perfect for both newborns and toddlers. The innovative 3-wheel design offers an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop. The sling seat is a fab baby-friendly option for the ultimate face to face bonding time. When your little ones grow older just swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included and ready for the next adventure!
