It has two fixed seats and can be configured with up to 30 seating options (including triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are larger large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids to get into 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 an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some models fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful if storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
websites are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family up to the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and free up storage space when not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and can be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of various ages and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents for an intimate bonding experience. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers or versatile buggies that can be used side-by-side parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, at the grocery store or anywhere else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to offer real shade. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
