A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a light double stroller that you can push with one hand, and then take up and down stairs, this is the one.
It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger than the other double stroller s with lightweights and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get in and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a 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 purchasing. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at the limit.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the lower 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 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family to accommodate three children. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggies. Its light 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 help little ones get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance 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 come in useful. However, they can be more substantial overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to the most important thing is a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different ages and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families with growing children!
