The 10 Most Scariest Things About Compact Double Buggy

What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says this side-by-side is light enough to pass through most doors and take two car seats or carrycots. It folds up self-standing and handy carry straps for easy schlepping.

The canopies are also easy to lift and move up/down the stairs. The canopies are spaciously sized and feature peekaboo windows.

Size

A good-sized shopping basket and front and rear suspension are essential elements to look for in a double buggy. You may consider if it's a travel system, or whether a car seat or carrycot is possible to add. These are crucial considerations if you are required to take your children on public transport, or on long journeys.

Take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a compact double buggy (redirected here) that you can use right from the time you are born. This side-by-side model features a clever frame that expands widthways to allow it to accommodate two children. The seats have an option to recline and can be positioned independently, which gives you the choice of one child leaning back and enjoying a nap while the other one gazes out at the surrounding. You also get a large UPF 50+ canopy and a peekaboo feature.

Another great option for newborn twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest twin pushchair that is available on the market. It is only 63cm in width, so it should fit through the majority of doors. It can also take two car seats or a carrycot and has lying-flat seats that can be used for babies from birth.

Tandem double buggies are popular with parents of twins or who have a baby and toddler. However, they tend to have a larger space than single-seaters and may be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements or through doorways.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a well-loved tandem that will expand with your family. It has 30 different seating configurations. The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is suitable for twins or a child, toddler or even three kids when you add the iCandy "PiggyBack" board (available separately). It has soft suspension that allows for easy work of kerbs. It is used in mono or double mode. You can attach one stroller to the top to store additional items.

Weight

A quality double buggy is lightweight and easy-to-push. It should also have spacious shopping baskets, a rear and front suspension to make it easier to get around rough terrains and, most importantly it should be suitable for twins or siblings of various age groups.

Many double buggies are compact and have frames that can be used to support infant car seats. They also have branded adaptors that match the popular models made by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are a great option for parents of children with medical issues and would prefer not having to use separate strollers.

They tend to be wider than buggies with side-by-sides, and are harder to fit in doorways or on public transport. If this is important to you, make sure to check the product's details to determine whether there are alternatives available.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the slimmest double stroller available on the market. This is the thinnest side-byside available, measuring only 63cm in width. It is able to carry twins, or one toddler and a baby. It's a sturdy design and superior functionality, with large air-filled tires that can be used on all terrain double stroller terrains, but also happy to whizz around town.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great alternative. It can hold twins or a baby and toddler, or two children using the piggyback board (which is required to be purchased separately). It is equipped with a carry strap that is self-standing and can folds to make it simple to transport. It also has front and back suspension to assist you in navigating rough terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but less heavy than trifold buggies. This is a great option for older children.

Folding

A good double stroller needs to be compact for storage, and a ideal choice is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This side-by-side model features a very slick fold and the clever frame expands in width when folded so that it's narrower than the standard stroller. This makes it easier to navigate doorways and on public transportation, and it also means you don't need an additional car to push the buggy around.

It's a good option for parents with twins, because it can be used in a mono or duo mode 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 many different options, including seats that are elevated that give both kids a view of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake that makes it easier to push the buggy up and down hills.

Another good alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest footprint side by side double stroller-by-side on the market at 63cm. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting a double pram stroller inside the doorway or on public transport. However it is still able to tackle rough terrain like a true off-roader. It can be used to carry twins or a toddler and a baby or two kids with the same age, and each seat can recline independently to ensure that the children are comfortable.

One final good choice is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in mono or tandem mode and can take 2 car seats/seats, or a carrycot and a toddler seat. It's slightly longer than some other doubles, but it provides an excellent maneuverability, particularly on smooth surfaces and is an excellent option for those who want an attractive but practical buggy.

If you're looking for a budget, there are plenty of budget double buggies such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a compact side-by-side that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot as well as an infant in a seat, or even three kids if you include the brand-new pizazz PiggyBack ride-on board. It has a simple self-standing fold, and a large canopy that offers both kids some protection and includes a peekaboo window. It's also quite light for a double stroller and comes with a large undercarriage basket for storing the shopping.
