The Top 5 Reasons People Thrive In The Compact Double Buggy Industry

What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says that this side-by-side is small enough to pass through most doors and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It comes with a self-standing fold and a handy carry strap to make it easy to schlep.

It's also very lightweight to carry and wheel up and down stairs. The canopies are large and have windows that peek out.

Size

A large shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension are the most important elements to look for in a double buggy. You may also want to think about whether it's a travel system, or if you can add a car seat or carrycot. These are crucial considerations if you're planning to bring your little ones along on public transport or longer journeys.

If you're in search of a compact double buggy that you can use from the beginning take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2. This side-by-side model has an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow it to accommodate two children. The seats can be reclined or positioned independently. This allows you to allow one child to relax and sleep while the other observes the surroundings. You will get a huge UPF 50+ canopy with an open window.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another excellent option for twins. It is the thinnest twin stroller pushchair on the market. It is just 63cm wide which means it can fit through the majority of doors. It can also accommodate two car seats or a carrycot, and comes with lie-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies are popular among parents of twins or parents who have a baby and a toddler. However, they do tend to have a wider footprint than single-seaters and can be difficult to manoeuvre on narrow streets or through doorways.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a well-loved tandem that will grow with your family. It offers 30 different seating configurations. It can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids if you purchase iCandy's "PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). It has soft suspension that makes light work of kerbs. It can be used in a mono or double mode. You can also connect a single stroller to the top of the unit for additional storage space.

Weight

A great double buggy should be lightweight and easy to push. It should also come with nice-sized shopping baskets, rear and front suspensions to make it easier to maneuver over rough terrain and, in the ideal case, be suitable for twins or siblings of various age.

Many compact double buggies have frames that can be used to store infant car seats. They also come with brand-name adaptors that match popular models by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are excellent options if you want to avoid using separate strollers for younger children with medical issues.

However, they do tend to have a larger footprint than side-by-side buggies and can be harder to fit through doors and on public transportation. Review the product's details for alternatives for this if it is important to you and your family.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the most compact double stroller on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side available, measuring only 63cm in width. It can be used to carry twins or an infant and a toddler. It is built to last with a sturdy design and superior functionality and large air-filled tires that are suitable for all terrain double buggy terrains, but also happy to go about the city.

Another great option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can accommodate twins with one toddler and one baby or two kids with a piggy back board (which you'll need to purchase separately). It comes with a self-standing fold and carry strap to make it super-easy to schlep, and comes with rear and front suspension to help you deal with rougher terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but less heavy than trifold buggies. This is a great option for older children.

Folding

A great double buggy has to be slim for storage. A good choice is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This side-by-side model has a smooth fold, and the clever frame expands widthways as you fold to make it smaller than an individual stroller. This makes it easy to navigate through doorways and public transport. It also means you don't need a second car for schlepping the buggy around.

It's a great option for parents of twins as it can be used with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can hold an additional child on the 'piggyback board' of the buggy. It also offers a wide range of options, including seats that are elevated to give both children the view of their surroundings. There's even a handbrake built into the adjustable handlebar that makes it easier to push it up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another good alternative. It has the smallest footprint side-by-side on the market with a footprint of 63cm. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting a double inside the doorway or on public transport. However, it can still handle rough terrain and be an off-roader. It can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or two children of the same age, and each seat can recline independently to make sure the kids are at ease.

Another option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in mono or tandem mode, and can be used with a car seats/seats, or an infant seat and carrycot. It's slightly larger than other doubles, but it provides great maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces. It's an excellent choice for those who are looking for a stylish but practical buggy.

There are many affordable double buggies, like the UPPAbaby vista 2. This compact side-byside can fit a newborn in the carrycot, a toddler in the seat, or even three children if you include a PiggyBack ride on board branded with some pizazz. It has a simple self-standing fold and a nice large canopy that offers both kids some protection and also has a peekaboo window. It's also fairly light for a double pushchairs stroller and has a large undercarriage basket for storing the shopping.
