A small double buggy - that guy - That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller that you need in case you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.
It features a pair of fixed seats and offers the possibility of 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 which can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get in and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double stroller with car seat buggy is one the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and transport but it might not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family up to the age of a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggy from birth buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it has big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist little ones to get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is easy to move around with both children on board. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.
Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a bit longer and can be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats, and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits' that turns it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for more intimate bonding. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can watch both kids at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight twin stroller doubles are able to accommodate two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. They also have convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.
If you're just beginning to build a growing family, add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face to face bonding time. If your kids become older you can simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're now ready for your next adventure, with a luxury travel bag and rain cover!
