5 Things Everyone Gets Wrong Concerning Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the sit n stand Double stroller stroller for you If you're looking for a light one-hand stroller that is easy to push. 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 the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger large than other smallest double buggy strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get in and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the key factors that will determine its ease to push. In general, a twin buggy that is light is more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double stroller with infant car seat is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus however, so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid children to climb into and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, these can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two seats in addition to more importantly, a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and a reversible cupholder on the seatback. They also have a large underseat storage basket.
