A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller that you need if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.
It features a pair of fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from a distance.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get into and out of their seats and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy (linked web site) is one of the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double push chair buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best twin buggy small double buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them squeeze the buggies in the back of their cars and free up storage space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small sit n stand double stroller buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it has big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help little ones get in and out of seats and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is simple to move around with two children in the. Some pushchairs are better than others, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. However, they are slightly longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms into an inline buggy. It has two different seating options for children of various ages, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have one cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are just beginning to build a growing household. It transforms it into a double stroller, which is great for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop. The Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the ultimate face to face bonding time. If your kids become older, simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag included you're set for the next adventure!
