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 for you in case you're looking for a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to carry up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that can be seen from a distance.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 pounds. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other notable features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. It's a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. Typically, a light buggy is more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back 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 most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing because they start as a single to double stroller stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, these can be a bit longer overall and can be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as 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, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating options for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and 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 wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. They also come with convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as a single parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are just beginning to build a growing family. It transforms it into a double inline stroller, which is perfect for both newborns and toddlers. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop. The Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the 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 good to go. You're ready for your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover!
