Compact Double Buggy: It's Not As Difficult As You Think

What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says this side-byside is small enough to fit through most doorways and can be used with two car seats or carrycots. It has self-standing folding mechanism, as well as easy carry straps to make it easy to move.

It's also very light to lift and wheel up/down stairs. The canopies have generously sized windows and peekaboo openings.

Size

A spacious shopping basket as well as rear and front suspension are essential features to look out for in a double buggy. You may want to look at whether it's a travel system or if the car seat or carrycot is possible to add. These are crucial considerations if you need to take your children on public transport or on longer journeys.

Take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a compact double buggy that you can use right from birth. This side-by-side model features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow it to accommodate two children. The seats can be reclined and placed independently. This lets you allow one child to relax and sleep while the other one is watching the surroundings. There is also a huge UPF 50+ canopy and the ability to peek into the future.

Another great option for newborn twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest twin pushchair available on the market. It measures just 63cm wide and should fit through the majority of doors. It can be used with two car seat or one carrycot, and comes with lie-flat seats suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies, which feature the children sitting in a row, are a popular choice for twins, or parents of a baby and a toddler. However, they do tend to have a wider space than single-seaters and may be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements or through doors.

The iCandy Orange is a popular tandem buggy that's been designed to adapt to your family, with 30 different seating options. The iCandy Orange tandem buggy can be used for twins, a child and a toddler, or even three children when you include the iCandy "PiggyBack" board (available separately). It features a soft suspension that can take care of kerbs and can be used in mono or double mode. It is possible to attach a single and double stroller stroller on top to store additional items.

Weight

A good double buggy is lightweight and easy-to-push. It should have an ample shopping basket, front and back suspension to make it easier for the child to maneuver through rougher terrain, and be suitable for twins as well as siblings of different ages.

Many compact double pushchair with car seat buggies include frames that can be used to store infant car seats. They also have branded adaptors that fit popular models by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are excellent options when you are looking to avoid having separate strollers for your smaller children who have medical needs.

However, they tend to have a larger footprint than side-by-side buggies, and can be harder to fit through doors and on public transportation. If this is important to you, check the product's details to determine if there are any alternatives available.

It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but lighter than the majority of trifold buggies. This is a great choice for older children.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a great option to store a double pushchairs buggy. This side-byside model has an extremely smooth fold and the frame's clever design expands in width as you fold so that it's narrower than a single stroller. This allows it to be more easily maneuvered through doors and on public transportation, while reducing the need for a second vehicle.

The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake that allows you to push the buggy up and down hills.

Another good option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest footprint side-by-side on the market at the smallest 63cm. This makes it ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting a double-doorway on public transport, while it can also be able to handle rough terrain as an off-roader. It can carry twins, a baby and toddler or two children with the same age, and each seat can recline independently to keep the kids comfortable.

Another good option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in tandem or mono mode, and can be used with a car seats/seats, or a carrycot and toddler seat. It's a little longer than some other doubles but it offers great maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces. It's an excellent choice for those who are looking for an attractive but practical buggy.

It has a simple self-standing fold as well as a large canopy that offers the kids some protection and a peek-a-boo window.
