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 50lbs. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
twin pushchairs -fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are great for growing families because they start as a single stroller and can be modified to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family until three children. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help little ones to climb into and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.
The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with two seating options for children of various ages and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents to create an intimate bonding experience. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!
