Is Tech Making Small Double Buggy Better Or Worse?
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a light double stroller that you can push with one hand, and then take up and down stairs This is the perfect model.
It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with the double set which includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy is more easy to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make twin stroller to read the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family until three children. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.
twin buggy by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is simple to move around with two children in the. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. These buggies may be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits that transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.
