If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that's easy to push one-handed and take up and down steps This is the perfect model.
It has a pair fixed seats, and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats come with 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 weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. double pram and pushchair is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready 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 the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight, while others have an overall frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at a premium.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for growing families since they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and also save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help little ones climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Certain pushchairs are better than others at this such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this as can side-byside designs. However, these can be a bit longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can watch both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to offer real shade. They also come with cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have a single parent cup holder, plus a large underseat basket.
If you're starting out with a growing family, add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping and superior maneuverability, while the sling seat offers the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. As your children grow older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. With a premium rain cover and travel bag included you're set for your next adventure!
