A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that is easy to push with one hand, and then take up and down stairs this is the model for you.
It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies and 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 weighing up to 50 pounds. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly two sets that include a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial if storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. double pushchair , like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family to accommodate a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.
double pushchair by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its light weight is a plus, but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies may be a bit larger and may be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats, and the most important thing is the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to provide real shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.
If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for easy kerb popping and superior mobility, while the sling seat provides a great option for newborns to bond with their parents. As your children get older, simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
