Why We Our Love For Small Double Buggy (And You Should Also!)

A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

This is the double tandem pushchair stroller you need in case you're looking for a lightweight stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.

It has two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side thule Double stroller stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50lbs. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double twin strollers for newborns and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs, cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine its ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some fold with seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial if storage space is at an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family, up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more 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 can fold up in just a few minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggie. Its lightweight double buggy weight is a plus but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid children climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient 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 come in useful. However, these can be slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate the third child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit' that turns 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 the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds each and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to sit back and relax. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if you are beginning with a growing family. It transforms it into a double infant stroller inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding time. If your kids get older you can simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. With a premium rain cover and travel bag you're set to go on your next adventure!
