If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller that you can push with one hand and climb and descend stairs, this is the one.
It has two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including triple!). Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get in and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine its ability to push. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame maximums, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Some fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at an all-time low.
double pram and pushchair -fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family up to a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Certain pushchairs are better than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. These buggies may be a little longer and can be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a small model that has two additional seats, and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.
Comfort
Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, in the grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to give shade. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as one cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.
Add the phil&teds Double Kit to your dot buggy if are just beginning to build an expanding family. It can transform into a double inline stroller, which is great for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for easy kerb popping as well as superior maneuverability, and the sling seat offers an excellent opportunity for infants to bond with their parents. You can easily swap out the sling seat with an infant car adapter when your children get older. You're ready for your next adventure with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover included!
