Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get into and out of their seats and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport but it might not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to you buy. Some fold with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is a premium.
double jogging stroller -fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. double buggy travel system are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and also save storage space when not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is simple to move around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and can be difficult to maneuver 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 more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time.
