20 Things You Need To Be Educated About Small Double Buggy

A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that is easy to push with one hand and climb and descend stairs, this is the one.

It comes with two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50lbs. Its seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. It's a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Some double buggy with car seat buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single to double buggy pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family until the age of a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best lightweight double stroller Double Running Stroller buggies for small children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them squeeze the buggies in the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. 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 tri-fold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it has large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help little ones to get into and out of their seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is simple to move around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. However, they are a bit longer overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can watch both kids while at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 pounds each and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and a single parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, while the sling seat provides the perfect opportunity for babies to connect with their parents. If your kids get older just change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included you're set for your next adventure!
