The History Of 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 you can push with one hand and climb and descend steps, this is the one.

It has two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double travel stroller twin stroller with car seats is a side-by-side double stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50lbs. Its seats are more generously large than other lightweight double Stroller double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other important features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get in and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It's a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double set that includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine its ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to you buy. Some fold down with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful if storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require a single hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family to accommodate three children. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their car and also save storage 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 whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double pushchair buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with 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 smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others 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 handy. However, they are slightly longer overall and so may be difficult to maneuver 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 the third child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side by side double stroller-by-side, parents can watch both kids while at the grocery store, park or anywhere else. These lightweight twin buggy doubles can accommodate two children as much as 50 pounds per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to kick back and relax. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop. The Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding. It is easy to swap the seat with an infant car adapter once your children grow older. You're ready to go on your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
