Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. double single pushchair comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine its ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at the limit.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
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 they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
double pushchair by Side is another great option for a small double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it offers big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children get into and out of their seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is 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.
Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. sit and stand double stroller with this type of design can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is super-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 any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to sit back and relax. The doubles also feature cups for both parents and a a reversible cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have a large underseat storage basket.
