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 one-hand stroller double that is easy to push. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 smallest double buggy stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can hold two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get in and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double pram stroller set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport however, it may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame maximums, so it's important to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some also fold with 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 are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family until a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help little ones get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a small double buggy (source website) is its maneuverability, particularly how easy it is to get around with two children on board. Some pushchairs are better than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they are slightly longer overall and can 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 - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various ages and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can keep an eye on both children at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles are able to hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and a reversible cupholder on the seat back. They also include a large underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. As your children grow older just switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
