How To Save Money On Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the off road double buggy stroller that you need if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.
It features a pair of fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double twin stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get out and in their seats and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double pram buggy buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair double jogging stroller (click through the following website), but they come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family, as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it comes with large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help children get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits' that turns it into an inline buggy. It comes with two seating options for children of different ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can watch both kids while at the grocery store, park or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also include an enormous underseat storage basket.
If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. If your kids grow older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
