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 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 up to 30 seating options (including a triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50lbs. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb in and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a nipper double buggy buggy is among the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at an all terrain double stroller-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat they are an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family to accommodate a third child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double strollers double buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggy with carrycot buggies. Its light weight is a plus, but so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help children to climb into and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. These buggies can be a bit larger and may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added as well as an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.
Comfort
With compact tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can monitor both kids at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children to sit back and relax. They also have convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have a single parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.
If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. If your kids grow older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
