This is the double stroller that you need in case you're looking for a lightweight one-hand stroller that is easy to push. It's also simple to carry up and down the stairs.
It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from a distance.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can hold two children weighing up to 50lbs. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other important features include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get into and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggies will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Learn Alot more come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have an overall frame limit. Some also fold down with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are great for growing families because they start as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver across 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. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but also the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is simple to move around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs are better than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and could be difficult to get through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added as well as an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry an additional child.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can keep an eye on both children at the park, grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and a single parent cup holder, plus a large underseat basket.
