5 Killer Quora Answers To Small Double Buggy

A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking to purchase a light double twin umbrella stroller that you can push with one hand, and then take up and down stairs, this is the one.

It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double buggy double strollers and the canopy has nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features 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 option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some also fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for small double stroller buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it has: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are better than others, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they are a bit longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry the third child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids while at the grocery store, park or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, add the cheap double pushchair kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent baby-friendly option for the ultimate face to face bonding time. As your children become older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag you're set to go on your next adventure!
