10 Inspirational Images Of 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 you can push one-handed and climb and descend stairs this is the model for you.
It has two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats feature 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 lbs. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for kids to get into and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban 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 main factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful if storage space is at an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them ideal for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family to accommodate three children. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid children get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in useful. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added, and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry an additional child.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of different age groups and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents for an intimate bonding experience. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families that are growing.
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies, parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the grocery store, park or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 50 pounds per seat and come with large, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have a large underseat storage basket.
If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. double buggy newborn -wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, and the sling seat provides an excellent opportunity for infants to bond 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 a luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
