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

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

It comes with two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as 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 sized than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to climb into and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have an overall frame limit. Some also fold down with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, even as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help little ones get in and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. These buggies can be a bit larger and could be difficult to navigate through doors.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It also comes with a storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

With compact tandem double buggy strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can watch both children at the grocery store, park or any other place. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and a reversible cupholder on the seat back. They also have an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the double infant strollers kit from phil&teds to your dot twin buggy from birth, transforming it into an inline double push chair, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, and the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. As your children grow older, simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go.
