What Freud Can Teach Us About 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 you need in case you're looking for a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are larger than other lightweight double umbrella stroller strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of their seats. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter twin buggy from birth is more easy to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame limits and it's important to check the details of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is required 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 begin as one twin pushchair from birth, but they come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family to accommodate three children. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are good at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different age groups and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, in the grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to sit and stand double stroller back and relax. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, and the sling seat offers an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. As your children grow older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
