A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller for you If you're looking for a light, easy-to-push one-handed stroller. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.
It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket that has a capacity of 25 pounds, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggies will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies can 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 generally the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, you need to take into account 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 better than other models.
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are more substantial overall, and therefore could be tricky to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can 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" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various age groups and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.
