Five Killer Quora Answers To Small Double Buggy

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

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that is easy to push one-handed and carry up and down stairs, this is the one.

It comes with two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double jogging stroller stroller that can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some models fold down with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all terrain double buggy-time low.

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 side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double pushchair with car seat buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist little ones to get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies can be a bit larger and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two seats in addition to more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both kids at the park, grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as an individual cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit 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, while the sling seat is a fab baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time.
