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 to purchase a light double stroller that you can push with one hand, and then take up and down stairs, this is the one.

It comes with two fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that can be seen from a distance.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other lightweight double pushchair double strollers and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get out and in their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter twin buggy from birth is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have a frame limit. Some double Buggy that converts to Single buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are great for growing families because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.

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 fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double pushchair with car seat buggies. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children to get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able 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 where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies can be a bit longer and can be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively compact pushchair double that allows for two seats to be added, and an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can carry a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely flexible. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side, parents can watch both kids while at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with spacious pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat is the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. It is easy to swap the sling seat with an infant car adapter once your children grow older. You're now ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
