The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double seat stroller buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand 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 know the specifics of each model prior to making a purchase. Some also fold with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their car and save storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull 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 excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help children to climb into and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a compact twin stroller double buggy with car seat buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is easy to move around with two children in the. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are good at this as can side-byside designs. However, these can be a bit longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively small model that has two seats in addition to - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie.
