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

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that is easy to push with one hand, and then climb and descend steps this is the model for you.

It comes with two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger than the other cheap double stroller strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family, even with a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double pushchair from birth stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as 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 come in useful. However, they can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents to create more intimate bonding. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. They also have convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior mobility, while the sling seat is a great option for newborns to connect with their parents. As your children get older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure, with a luxury travel bag and rain cover included!
