Five Killer Quora Answers To 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, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.

It has a pair fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get in and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat, and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some cheap double stroller buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are great for growing families because they start as a single stroller and can be modified to accommodate a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, even up to a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help little ones to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is simple to move around with two children in the. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem double buggy buggies can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. These buggies can be a bit larger and can be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats and - most importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is especially true 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 be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. 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

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with spacious, 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. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as an individual cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding. As your children grow older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're ready for your next adventure with luxury travel bag and rain cover!
