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 is easy to push one-handed and take up and down steps This is the perfect model.
It comes with two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders for one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to climb into and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes 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 key factors that will determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame maximums and it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Some also fold with the seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they require only 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 doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, even as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when they are not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up and the whole thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. However, they can be more substantial overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. twin stroller is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time.
