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 for you in case you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children weighing up to 50 pounds. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with a double pushchairs kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and free up storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its light 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 aid children to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease 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 more efficient at this than others.

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, these can be slightly longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a small model that has two additional seats, and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!

Comfort

These lightweight double buggy doubles are able to accommodate two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and a reversible cupholder on the back of the seat. They also come with a large underseat storage basket.
