How To Save Money On 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's easy to push one-handed and take up and down stairs, this is the one.
It features a pair of fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including three!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows.
pushchair twin Pushchairs And Prams include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs, cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some fold with the seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is the limit.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them ideal to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family until the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their car and also save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire 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 another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help little ones get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability and how easy it is to get around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a little longer and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.
Comfort
With compact tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can keep an eye on both kids at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy when you are just beginning to build an expanding family. It can transform into a double-inline stroller, which is great for both newborns and toddlers. The innovative 3-wheel design gives superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, while the sling seat is an excellent newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face to face bonding time. As your children become older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're ready for your next adventure, with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
