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

If you're looking for a light double stroller that is easy to push with one hand, and then carry up and down stairs, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice 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 one of the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight and others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at an all-time low.

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

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull 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 a good alternative for a small double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help children get in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. However, these can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two seats in addition to - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different ages, and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy single to double stroller fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both kids at the park, grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are just beginning to build a growing family. It transforms it into a double stroller, which is great for both newborns and toddlers. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior mobility, while the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter as your children grow older. With a deluxe rain cover and travel bag included, you're ready for your next adventure!
