If you're looking to purchase a light double
twin stroller with car seats that's easy to push with one hand, and then climb and descend steps This is the perfect model.
It has two fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats are UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from a distance.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing bin with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry however, it may not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain
double pram pushchair buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.
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 smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family up to a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The most compact
double car seat stroller buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help children get into and out of seats and reclined chair and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a
small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children in the. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
The narrow
tandem double buggy buggies are effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to offer real shade. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
