A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller for you if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to transport up and down the stairs.
It has two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get out and in their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. In general, a buggy that is light is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame maximums and it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and more best compact double stroller. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family until a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The most compact double stroller effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies in the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help little ones get in and out of seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability and how easy it is to get around with two children aboard. 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 the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. However, these can be more substantial overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively small pushchair double that allows two seats to be added as well as - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents for an intimate bonding experience. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. They also come with convenient reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are beginning with a growing household. It will transform it into a double-inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face to face bonding time. It is easy to swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter as your children get older. You're ready for your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover!
