10 Inspirational Images Of Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and carry up and down steps this is the model for you.
It has a pair fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from a distance.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously large than other double buggy travel system strollers that are lightweight, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb out and in their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is 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 ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have a frame limit. Some fold with seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial when storage space is at an all terrain double stroller-time low.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are initially one twin pushchair from birth, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family until a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers large pop-out canopy which have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you; 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 think about when selecting a compact double twin buggy from birth is its manoeuvrability, particularly how easy it is to get around with both children on board. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. However, they can be a bit longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively small model that has two seats in addition to more importantly, an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits that transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating options for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!
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 carry two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous 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 little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles also feature a Single Double Stroller parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.
