An Easy-To-Follow Guide To Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that you can push with one hand and take up and down steps this is the model for you.
It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to climb in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport but it might not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. off road double buggy fold with the seats removed to make them smaller and lighter, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them ideal for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, up to a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it has large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how easy it is to get around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can carry the third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.
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, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade.
