Both seats have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that are peekaboo. Other key features include a self-standing bin with a capacity of 25 lbs cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready to grow double stroller with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for an optimum 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 simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller but can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it has large pop-out canopy which have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters to get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is easy to move around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in useful. However, they can be a bit longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and more importantly, a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has 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 bonding. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!
Comfort
With compact double buggy tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both kids at the park, at the grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to provide real shade. The doubles come with one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.
