Are You Getting The Most From Your 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, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.

It features a pair of fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy with 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 50lbs. The seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

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

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some also fold with the seats removed to make them smaller and lighter, which can be useful when storage space is at a premium.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family until a third child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The best double pushchair buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. For example 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 senior testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help little ones to climb into and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, these can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a narrow Pushchair Double that still allows two seats to be added and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.

Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can monitor both children at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also come with a large underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are starting out with an expanding family. It can transform into a double-inline stroller that is ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're ready to go on your next adventure with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
