The Most Significant Issue With Small Double Buggy, And How You Can Repair It

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 stroller that you can push with one hand, and then carry up and down steps this is the model for you.

It comes with two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain.  double travel stroller 's a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the key factors that will determine the ease to push. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight while others have a frame limit. Some fold with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial if storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family with a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold up in seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and may be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.

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 as much as 50 pounds each and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to relax and kick back. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.


If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, and the sling seat provides a great option for newborns to bond with their parents. As your children become older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go.
