5 Killer Quora Answers On 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 that you need in case you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50 lbs. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get in and out of their seats. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double travel stroller buggie will determine its ability to push. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower 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 on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small double buggy children fold in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into 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 entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggy travel system buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus however, so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help little ones climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to think about 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 more efficient at this than other models.

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. However, these can be a bit longer overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a 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 monitor both kids while at the grocery store, park or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build an expanding family, consider adding the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, while the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. It is easy to swap the seat with an infant car adapter once your children get older. You're now ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
