Five Killer Quora Answers On 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 twin umbrella stroller that you can push with one hand, and then carry up and down stairs, this is the one.

It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller double. It can hold two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double pushchair strollers, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get into and out their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double buggy for twins is one of most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus however, its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is simple to move around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair twin is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and more importantly, 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 the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different age groups and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for growing families!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to provide real shade. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with a large underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, while the sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. If your kids get older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag included you're set for your next adventure!
