Why You Should Focus On Improving 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 light double stroller that you can push with one hand and take up and down steps this is the model for you.
It has two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 pounds. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get out and in their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Be double pushchair from birth to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family until the age of a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save storage space when not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it offers large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters get in and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a compact double buggy is its maneuverability and 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 better at this than other models.
Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a bit larger and can be difficult to get through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry the third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of different ages and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for an intimate bonding experience. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids while at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face to face bonding time. You can easily swap the seat for an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're now ready for your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
