20 Things You Need To Know About Small Double Buggy

A Small double infant stroller Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

This is the double jogging stroller stroller for you if you want a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest double stroller models, as they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when they are not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight double pushchair Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it has: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters to get into and out of seats and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is easy to move around with two children on board. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they can be more substantial overall and can be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry the third child.

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can watch both kids while at the grocery store, park or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have a single parent cup holder as well as a huge underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are starting out with a growing household. It will transform it into a double-inline stroller that is ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop. The Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face to face bonding time. If your kids become older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure, with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
