A Small double stroller with Adjustable seats 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 climb and descend steps, this is the one.
It has two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other double strollers 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 a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars to help kids to get into and out of their seats. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial when storage space is at an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They’re also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double pushchair is one of lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family until three children. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they’re generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them squeeze the buggies in the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when not in use. 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 trifold that even our most senior testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters get into and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others at this such as 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 be handy. However, they can be a bit longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it’s a relatively small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and an important feature – an ‘piggyback’-style board that can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever ‘dot kit’ that turns it into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It comes with an enormous storage basket that 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, in the grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to give shade. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the back of the seat. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are just beginning to build a growing household. It transforms it into a double inline stroller, which is perfect for both newborns and toddlers. The clever 3-wheel design makes for easy kerb popping as well as superior mobility, while the sling seat provides a great option for newborns to connect with their parents. When your little ones become older you can simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you’re set to go. You’re ready for your next adventure with luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
