A Small double pram buggy Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that you can push with one hand and take up and down steps, this is the one.
It features a pair of fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from a distance.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double twin umbrella stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can hold two children up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that are peekaboo. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be easier to lift and transport but it might not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doorways. 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 but come with adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The best small double pram stroller buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most senior testers could do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that aid children climb in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is simple to move around with both children in the. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.
The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and can be tricky to maneuver 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 the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option 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 can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds each and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to kick back and relax. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are beginning with an expanding family. It will transform it into a double stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, while the sling seat is an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. When your little ones grow older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're ready for your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover included!
