Why You Should Concentrate On Improving Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller that is easy to push with one hand, and then climb and descend stairs this is the model for you.
It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs 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 suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, even up to a 3rd child. double pram and pushchair are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and also save storage space when not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help children get in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is simple to move around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.
The narrow tandem buggies are good at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit larger and can be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding time. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or anywhere else with narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 lbs per seat and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend enough to provide real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as an individual cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.
If you're beginning with a growing family, you can add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat is the perfect opportunity for babies to connect with their parents. As your children grow older you can simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're now ready for your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
