A Step-By'-Step Guide For 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 for you in case you're looking for a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.
It features a pair of fixed seats that can provide the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame maximums which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are great for growing families since 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, even with a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their car and also save storage space when they are not in use. double car seat stroller for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then 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 another good choice for a small double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it comes with big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of seats and reclined chair and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
The narrow tandem buggies are good at this as can side-byside designs. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to hold two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to provide real shade. The doubles also have one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also come with a large underseat storage basket.
If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior mobility, while the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. When your little ones get older, simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go.
