10 Things We Hate About Compact Double Buggy

What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says that the side-byside is small enough to fit through the majority of doors and accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It folds up self-standing and handy carry straps for easy schlepping.

It's also extremely light to lift and wheel up/down stairs. The canopies are generously sized and feature peekaboo windows.

Size

Double buggy features you should look for include the large shopping basket, rear and front suspension and strong frame. You may want to look at whether it is a travel system or if a car seat or carrycot can be added. These are important considerations when you're planning to bring your children in public transport or on longer journeys.

Take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a compact, double buggy you can use from birth. This model is a side by side buggy that has an adjustable frame that can expand widthwise to accommodate two children. The seats can be reclined and placed independently. This lets you let one child unwind and sleep while the other is observing the surroundings. You will get a huge UPF 50+ canopy, with the option of a peekaboo window as well.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another fantastic alternative for twins. It is the tiniest twin pushchair available on the market. It measures only 63cm in length and should fit through most doors. It can also be used with two car seats or a carrycot. It also has lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double travel buggy buggies are very popular with parents of twins or parents who have a baby and a toddler. However, they tend to have a wider footprint than single-seaters and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads or through doorways.

The iCandy Orange is a popular tandem buggy that's been designed to adapt to your family, with 30 different seating options. It can be used with twins or a baby and a toddler or three kids when you add iCandy's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). It comes with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs easy to navigate. It is able to be used in single or second hand double buggy mode. It is possible to attach a single stroller on top for additional storage.

Weight

A good double buggy should be light and easy to push. It should also come with nice-sized shopping baskets, a rear and front suspension to allow it to navigate rougher surfaces and, most importantly, be suitable for twins or siblings of various ages.

Many double stroller with infant car seat buggies are compact and come with frames that can be used to hold infant car seats. They also have branded adaptors that are compatible with popular models by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are great options if you want to avoid having separate strollers for younger children with medical issues.

However, they do tend to have a wider footprint than side-by-side buggies, and can be harder to fit through doors and public transport. Check the product details for alternatives if this is important to your family.

If you're looking to find the tiniest double pushchair twin available take a look at the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the thinnest side-byside on the market, measuring only 63cm in width. It can be used to transport twins or one toddler and a baby. It has a robust design and a superior function and large air-filled tires that are suitable for all terrains, but also happy to whizz around the city.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another fantastic alternative. It can carry twins or a baby and toddler, or two kids with a piggyback board (which is required to be purchased separately). It has a self-standing fold and carry strap, making it super-easy to schlep, and comes with rear and front suspension to help you deal with rougher terrain. It's a little heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo but still lighter than most tri-fold buggies. It's also a great value option for older kids.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic option to store a double buggy with carrycot buggy. This side-byside model has a very slick fold and the clever frame expands in width as you fold so that it's narrower than the standard stroller. This makes it easy to navigate through doorways and public transport, while it also means that you don't require an additional car to push the buggy around.

It's a great option for parents with twins as it can be utilized in duo or mono mode with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can hold an additional child on the 'piggybackboard of the buggy. It also offers an array of options, including seats that are elevated that give both kids a view of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake, which makes it easier to push the buggy up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another excellent option. It has the smallest footprint side-byside available, measuring 63cm. It is perfect for parents who worry about fitting a double in a door or on public transport. However it is still able to tackle rough terrain like a true off-roader. It can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby, or two children with similar age. Each seat reclines independently, so the kids are comfortable.

The iCandy Peach is a good alternative. It can be utilized in a mono mode, and can be used with 2 car seats/seats, or a carrycot with a toddler seat. It's a bit larger than other doubles but it has excellent maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces. This is a fantastic option for those looking for a stylish and practical buggy.

There are a variety of budget Double Strollers With One Hand Fold buggies, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This small side-by-side can accommodate a newborn in the carrycot, even a toddler in the seat, or three kids if you add the PiggyBack ride on board branded with the pizazz. It has an easy-to-stand fold, a huge canopy that provides protection for children as well as a peekaboo feature. It's also fairly light for a double stroller, and has a large undercarriage basket that can be used to store your shopping.
