If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that's easy to push with one hand, and then climb and descend steps This is the perfect model.
It has two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from a distance.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double single pushchair stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of double buggies will determine its ease of pushing. Typically, a light buggy is more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some double pushchair sale buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is helpful in cases where you have limited storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double tandem pushchair is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children since they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to three children. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their car and save storage space when not in use. For instance, 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 oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but it also has some great 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 seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting a small double buggy from birth buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is easy to move around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they are more substantial overall, and therefore could be tricky to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively compact double buggy model that can accommodate two seats in addition to the most important thing is the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.
