This is the double stroller for you 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 comes with two fixed seats and offers the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats come with 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 be used by two children up to 50lbs. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket that has a the capacity of 25lbs cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles 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 accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family to accommodate three children. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move across 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 appreciate this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their cars and free up storage space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. double single pushchair is an advantage but so are the features it has big pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window as well as swing-away bars to assist little ones get in and out of their seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is easy to move around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, they are slightly longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry an additional child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children 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 that is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!
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 accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a a reversible cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have a large underseat storage basket.
