It has two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a nipper double buggy kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for 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.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some also fold down with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial when storage space is at a premium.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family until three children. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles 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 whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double stroller double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features: 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 reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, they can be more substantial overall, and therefore could 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 as well as an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate an additional child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns into an inline buggy. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as an individual cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.
If you're just beginning to build an expanding family, consider adding the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double pram pushchair ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides the best travel double stroller maneuverability and a simple kerb pop. The Sling seat is a fantastic newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It is easy to swap the seat for an infant car adapter once your children grow older. With a stylish rain cover and travel bag and ready for your next adventure!
