Five Killer Quora Answers On Small Double Buggy

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 is easy to push with one hand, and then carry up and down stairs, this is the one.

It comes with two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double twin stroller with car seats is a side-by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have a frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter this can be beneficial if storage space is at an all terrain double buggy-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family to accommodate three children. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and also save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help little ones to climb into and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a small double pushchairs buggy is its maneuverability especially how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.

Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can watch both children at the park, grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to kick back and relax. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are just beginning to build a growing household. It transforms it into a double stroller, which is great for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat is an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter as your children grow older. With a premium rain cover and travel bag you're set to go on your next adventure!
