3 Reasons 3 Reasons Why Your Small Double Buggy Is Broken (And How To Repair It)
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs

If you're looking for a light double stroller that's easy to push with one hand, and then climb and descend steps This is the perfect model.

It has a pair fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including an angular one!). 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 hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get out and in their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some models fold down with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial if storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, even as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters to get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for little ones.

lightweight double buggy

When picking a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, these can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate the third child.

Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits' that turns it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.


Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to offer real shade. The doubles also have a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the seatback. They also include a large underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers superior manoeuvrability and easy kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is a fab newborn-ready choice for ultimate face-to-face bonding. You can easily swap out the sling seat for an infant car adapter when your children get older. You're ready for your next adventure, with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
