A Small Double Buggy That’s Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you’re looking for a lightweight double stroller that’s easy to push one-handed and 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 the triangular design!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame limits and it’s important to check the details of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They’re also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they’re generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their cars and www.pushchairsandprams.uk free up storage space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can 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 double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it comes with large pop-out canopy which have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help youngsters get in and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better 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 come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and could be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is particularly true with its clever “dot kit” which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate 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 families with growing children.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have a single parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.
If you’re just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, whilst the Sling seat is a fantastic baby-friendly option for the ultimate face to face bonding time. As your children grow older you can simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you’re ready to go. You’re now ready for your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
