Five Killer Quora Answers On Small Double Buggy

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

This is the double stroller you need if you want a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.

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

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame weight limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, even up to a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is easy to move around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, these can be a bit longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a small model that has two seats in addition to - most importantly - the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms 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. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.

Comfort

These lightweight doubles can carry two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles also feature cups for both parents and a an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also include an enormous underseat storage basket.
