15 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Be Ignoring Small Double Buggy

A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that's easy to push with one hand, and then take up and down steps this is the model for you. It comes with two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopies with windows that can be seen from a distance. Size The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. Its seats are larger large than other double stroller s that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds and cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat. Weight The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine the ease to push. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and transport however, it may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain. Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame maximums and it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to you purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space. The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby. Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, even with a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver. Folding The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold in just one hand. The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it has big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help little ones get into and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for young children. Manoeuvrability When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others at this and include the iCandy's “cinema seat” (where the back is elevated). Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this as can side-byside designs. However, they can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doorways. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid. Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket that is easy to fold. A great choice for growing families! Comfort Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds per seat and come with large pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to sit back and relax. The doubles also have one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket. If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The innovative 3-wheel design gives an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding time. If double pram pushchair get older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go.
