A small double buggy (Google link for more info) That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a lightweight stokke double stroller stroller that is easy to push with one hand and climb and descend steps this is the model for you.
It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket that has a capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids to get into and out of their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Certain off road double buggy buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have an overall frame limit. Some fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful if storage space is at a premium.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold up in 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. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help youngsters get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs double are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are good at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like 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 various ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to relax and kick back. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double stroller with infant car seat kit to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, whilst the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap the seat for an infant car adapter when your children get older. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag included and ready for the next adventure!
