14 Misconceptions Common To Small Double Buggy

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 two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). 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 be used by two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin 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 for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat, and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is a great option 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 lower and back 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 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

double jogging stroller  fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled 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 great choice for double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help little ones climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's 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 better than others in this regard and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies may be a bit longer and can be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various ages and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also include a large underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are starting out with an expanding family. It can transform into a double inline stroller, which is perfect for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, while the sling seat is the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. If your kids grow older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
