A small double buggy (ezproxy.cityu.edu.hk official) That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that you can push with one hand and take up and down stairs, this is the one.

It comes with two fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). Both seats feature 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 up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler sit and stand double stroller baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they start as a single to double stroller stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family up to three children. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when 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 most experienced testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. 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 children get in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is easy to move around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. These buggies may be a bit longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents for more intimate bonding. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 pounds each and come with spacious pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.

Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are beginning with an expanding family. It will transform it into a double inline twin umbrella stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop. The sling seat is a fab baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. When your little ones get older just change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. You're now ready for your next adventure, with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
