Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 Other Methods To Say 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 is easy to push with one hand, and then take up and down steps this is the model for you.
It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for kids to get out and in their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great option 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 among the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and transport, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read 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 models fold down with seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller, but can be modified to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family to accommodate three children. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they are 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 tri-fold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus however, 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 seating and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies can be a bit larger and may be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits that transforms it into an inline buggy. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents for more intimate bonding. It also comes with a storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-byside buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are beginning with a growing household. It can transform into a double inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop. The sling seat is an excellent baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap the seat with an infant car adapter once your children grow older. With double pram pushchair and travel bag and ready for the next adventure!
