A small double buggy (bookmarkfeeds.stream) That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a light double stroller that is easy to push with one hand, and then take up and down steps this is the model for you.
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+ canopies and windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50lbs. Its seats are larger large than other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine its ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double stroller with bassinet buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful 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 lower and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them a good choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing because they start as a single to double pushchair stroller but can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family to accommodate the age of a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them to fit the buggies into the back of their car and also save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double infant strollers buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist little ones get in and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 pounds each and come with spacious, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seatback. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are just beginning to build a growing family. It can transform into a double-inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop. The sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding. If your kids become older just change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag included you're set to go on your next adventure!
