The Ultimate Guide To 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 you need if you want a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

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

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other lightweight double buggy converts to single strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket that has a a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some fold down with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is the limit.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back 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 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family up to the age of a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best Double buggy for twins buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has 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 in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it offers big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, they are more substantial overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two seats in addition to - most compact double stroller importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various ages and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to provide more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.
