If you're looking for a lightweight 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 feature UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, 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 for better manoeuvrability on tough all terrain double buggy. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame limits which is why it's essential to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them a good choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family with a third 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 buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. 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, which even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help children to get into and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs double are more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit larger and can be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a small model that has two seats in addition to the most important thing is the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for growing families!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to relax and kick back. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and a reversible cupholder on the back of the seat. They also include a large underseat storage basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are just beginning to build an expanding family. It will transform it into a double stroller that is ideal for toddlers and infants alike.
