Why You Should Focus On Enhancing Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller that you need If you're looking for a light stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.
It features a pair of fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing bin with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller but can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is easy to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can carry a third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 pounds each and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to kick back and relax. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have an ample underseat storage basket.
If you're starting out with a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to connect with their parents. If your kids get older you can simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
