A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller that you need in case you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.
It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban 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 buggy is among the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family until three children. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help little ones climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. These buggies may be a bit larger and can be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry a third child.
double pram buggy , three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely flexible. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both children at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as 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 a growing family. It will transform it into a double inline stroller that is ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter as your children get older. You're now ready for your next adventure, with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
