15 Weird Hobbies That Will Make You Smarter At Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller you need in case you're looking for a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.
It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy comes with spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing basket that has a capacity of 25 pounds, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get in and out of their seats. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame maximums, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for growing families since they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family up to the age of a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when they are 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 do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help children get in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different ages and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents for more intimate bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.
With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can watch both kids while at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to relax and kick back. 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 when you are beginning with an expanding family. It will transform it into a double-inline stroller, which is perfect for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for simple kerb popping and excellent mobility, while the sling seat offers an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents. If your kids grow older just swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. With a premium rain cover and travel bag included and ready for the next adventure!
