Are You Getting The Most Out From Your 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 easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It comes with two fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It's a great choice 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 with carrycot buggie will determine the ability to push. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and transport but it might not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven all terrain double buggy (visit our website).

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame weight limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some also fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial if storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require a single to double pushchair hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies begin as one twin pushchair from birth, but they come with adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family up to a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it offers big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. However, these can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents for an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both kids at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds each and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. They also come with cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have an individual cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are just beginning to build a growing family. It transforms it into a double-inline stroller, which is perfect for both newborns and toddlers. The clever 3-wheel design provides the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop. The sling seat is a fab baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. It is easy to swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter once your children get older. You're ready to go on your next adventure, with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
