Five Killer Quora Answers 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 double that you need if you want a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight double stroller and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other notable features include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine the ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family to accommodate a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it has large pop-out canopy which have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is easy to move around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit larger and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can watch both kids at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 pounds each and come with spacious pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and a single parent cup holder as well as a huge underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds double tandem pushchair Kit to your dot buggy if you are beginning with a growing family. It transforms it into a double inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop. The sling seat is a fab baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It is easy to swap the sling seat for an infant car adapter once your children get older. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag you're set for the next adventure!
