15 Gifts For The Compact Double Buggy Lover In Your Life

What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says that this side-by-side is small enough to pass through most doors and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It comes with an auto-standing folding mechanism as well as easy carry straps to make it easy to move.

It's also lightweight to carry and wheel up/down stairs. The canopies are generously sized and have peekaboo windows.

Size

Double buggy features you should consider include an enormous shopping basket, rear and front suspension, and a sturdy frame. It is also advisable to consider whether it's a traveler or whether you can add a car seat or carrycot. These are important considerations when you're planning to bring your little ones along on public transport or on longer journeys.

If you're in search of a compact double buggy that you can use from the beginning take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2. This clever model is a side-byside buggy that has a frame that can expand to accommodate two children. The seats can be reclined or positioned independently. This allows you to have one child relax and sleep while the other observes the surrounding. You get a big UPF 50+ canopy with the option of a peekaboo window as well.

Another great option for infant twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side twin pushchair on the market and only 63cm wide so can fit through the majority of doors. It can also take two car seats or a carrycot, and comes with lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies are popular with parents of twins or with a baby and toddler. They have a bigger space than single-seaters, and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or on pavements.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a popular tandem that can grow with your family. It has 30 different seating options. It can be used with twins, a baby and a toddler or three children if you add iCandy's "PiggyBack" board (which you can purchase separately). It has soft suspension that can take care of kerbs and can be used in a mono or double mode. You can also attach one stroller on top for additional storage.

Weight

A great  double buggy  should be light and easy to push. It should also have nice-sized shopping baskets, a rear and front suspension to allow it to get around rough terrains and, ideally it is suitable for twins or siblings of different age.

Many compact double buggies have frames specifically designed to accommodate infant car seats and come with adaptors with branded brands to match the most popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are great choices if you want to avoid having separate strollers for your younger children who have medical needs.

They tend to be wider than buggies with side-by-sides and are more difficult to fit in doorways or on public transport. If this is important to you, check the product's specifications to see if there are any alternatives available.

If you're looking to find the tiniest double pushchair on the market take a look at the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side available with a 63cm width. It can be used to carry twins or one toddler and a baby. It is built to last with a sturdy design and superior functionality, with large air-filled tires that can be used on all terrains, but also happy to go about the city.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great alternative. It can carry twins or a baby and toddler, or two children using a piggyback board (which is required to be purchased separately). It comes with a carry strap that is self-standing and can folds to make it simple to move around. It also comes with front and back suspensions to make it easier to navigate rougher terrain. It's a little heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo but still lighter than the majority of tri-fold buggies and is a great value option for older kids.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic option for storing a double 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 smaller than an individual stroller. This makes it easy to get around doorways and on public transport. It also means that you don't require an additional car to push the buggy around.

It's an excellent option for parents with twins since it can be used with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can hold a third child on the 'piggybackboard' of the buggy. It also offers many different configurations, including elevated stadium-style seats to give both children the view of their surroundings. There's even a handbrake on the handlebar that can be adjusted, making it easier to push it up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another great alternative. It has the smallest footprint side-by-side on the market measuring just 63cm. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting a double into a door or on public transport. However, it can still handle rough terrain and be a true off-roader. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and one or two children who are similar age. Each seat can recline independently, ensuring that children are comfortable.

Another good option is the iCandy Peach, which can be utilized in tandem or mono mode and can take 2 car seats/seats, or a carrycot and toddler seat. It's a little longer than other doubles, but it has great maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces and is a great option for those looking for a stylish but practical buggy.

There are numerous inexpensive double buggies available, like the UPPAbaby vista 2. This small side-by-side can accommodate a newborn in the carrycot or an infant in the seat, or even three children if you include a PiggyBack ride on board with pizazz. It comes with an easy-to-stand fold, a huge canopy that provides protection for children as well as the ability to peek inside. It's also quite light for a double stroller, and comes with a large undercarriage basket for storing things like shopping.
