Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids to get into and out of their seats. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double jogging stroller kit that includes a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame weight limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Some also fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children since they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family to accommodate a third child. They are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them squeeze the buggies into the back of their car and save storage space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus however, it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help children get in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is simple to move around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to create more intimate bonding. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe 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 as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for little ones to sit back and relax. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and a single to double pushchair parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.
If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double pram buggy kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike.
