The 10 Scariest Things About Compact Double Buggy

What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says this side-byside is small enough to fit through the majority of doors and take two car seats or carrycots. It features self-standing folding mechanism, as well as convenient carry straps to make it easy to transport.

It's also very easy to move up and down stairs. The canopies are large and feature peekaboo windows.

Size

Double buggy features that you should look for include the large shopping basket, front and rear suspension and a sturdy frame. You might also want to think about whether it's a travel system or the possibility of adding a carrycot or car seat. These are crucial considerations when you need to take your children on public transport, or on long trips.

Consider the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a small, double buggy you can use right from birth. This model is a side-byside buggy with an adjustable frame that can expand to accommodate two children. The seats come with an option to recline and can be placed in a different way, which gives you the option of having one child leaning back and relaxing for a nap, while the other one gazes out at the surrounding. You will get a huge UPF 50+ canopy, with an open window.

Another great option for infant twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side twin pushchair on the market and is only 63cm wide, so should fit through most doorways. It can also accommodate two car seats or a carrycot. It also has lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies that feature the children sitting side by side, are a popular choice for twins or for parents of a baby and toddler. However, they do tend to have a larger footprint than single-seaters and can be difficult to manoeuvre on narrow roads or through doorways.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a popular tandem that can expand with your family. It has 30 different seating options. The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is suitable for twins or a child, toddler or even three kids when you include the iCandy PiggyBack board (available separately). It comes with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs easy to navigate. It can be used in mono or double strollers mode. It is also possible to attach a single stroller to the top of it for additional storage space.

Weight

A quality double buggy from birth buggy is lightweight and easy to push. It should include a large shopping basket with front and back suspension to aid the child to maneuver through more difficult terrain, and also be suitable for twins and siblings of different age groups.

A majority of compact double buggies come with frames designed to fit infant car seats and come with adaptors branded to match the popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. They are a great choice if you have younger children with medical needs and want to avoid having to use separate strollers.

They are typically larger than buggies with side-by-sides, and are harder to fit into doorways and on public transport. If this is important to you, check the product's details to determine whether there are alternatives available.

If you're looking to find the tiniest second hand double buggy pushchair on the market look into the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side on the market at just 53cm in width and is suitable for newborn twins or one baby and one toddler. It is built to last and offers superior functionality with large air-filled tyres that are all-terrain but equally comfortable cruising around the town.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option. It can carry twins as well as a baby and toddler, or two children using a piggyback board (which is required to be purchased separately). It is equipped with an adjustable carry strap that can stand on its own and folds to make it simple to move around. It also has front and back suspension to help you deal with rough terrain. It's a little heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo but still lighter than most tri-fold buggies. It's an excellent value choice for older kids.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is an excellent option for storing the double buggy. This model is a side-byside and has a very smooth fold. The frame expands as you fold, so it's smaller than the standard stroller. This makes it easy to get around doorways and on public transportation, and it also means you don't need an additional vehicle to transport the buggy around.

It's an excellent option for parents of twins as it can be used with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can also accommodate an additional child on the 'piggyback board' of the buggy. It also comes with a wide range of options, including seats that are elevated to give both kids an overview of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar features an adjustable handbrake that allows you to push the buggy up and down hills.

Another alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest side-by-side footprint available at 64cm. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting a double in the doorway or on public transport. However, it can still handle rough terrain like a true off-roader. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and an infant, or two children of the same age. Each seat reclines independently, so children 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 that has a toddler seat. It's a bit longer than other doubles but it has excellent maneuverability especially on smooth surfaces. This is a fantastic option for those who want an elegant and practical buggy.

If you're on a budget there are plenty affordable double pram buggy buggies available like the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This compact side-by-side can hold babies in a carrycot and even a toddler in the seat or even three children if you include a PiggyBack ride on board with the pizazz. It has an easy-to-stand fold, a huge canopy that offers protection for children as well as a peekaboo feature. It's also fairly light for a double jogging stroller buggy, and includes a larger undercarriage storage basket for shopping.
