telegra.Ph, That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
If you're looking for a light double stroller that you can push with one hand and take up and down steps, this is the one.
It has a pair fixed seats and up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and 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 suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the
double pushchair sale kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a
double buggy from birth buggy is one of the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven
all terrain double buggy.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. 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 are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family to accommodate the age of a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold up in seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its light weight is a plus however, its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid youngsters climb in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in useful. However, they can be a bit longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2
twin pushchair from birth is a great example, as it's a comparatively small model that has two seats in addition to - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.
