5 Killer Quora Answers On Small Double Buggy

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

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that you can push with one hand and climb and descend steps, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats and offers up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds and cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It's a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine its ease to push. Typically, 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 carefully before buying. Some double buggies come with a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest double stroller, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up 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 trifold, which even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it comes with large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double infant strollers stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in useful. However, they are a bit longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry the third child.

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids while at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. The doubles also have a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, whilst the Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. It is easy to swap the seat with an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're ready for your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
