This Is The Advanced Guide To 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 if you want a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.

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 more spacious than the other double stroller s with lightweights and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get into and out of their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame maximums and it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them squeeze 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 double pushchair experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggies. Its lightweight 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 that aid little ones to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is easy to move around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be useful. However, these can be more substantial overall and can be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added as well as an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to provide more intimate bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families that are growing.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both kids at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds each and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children to sit back and relax. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are starting out 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 provides superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop. The sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding. You can easily swap the seat with an infant car adapter as your children get older. You're ready to go on your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover included!
