Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a buy. Some fold with the seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful if storage space is at an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them a good choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot.

They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Its light weight is a plus however, its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. However, they can be slightly longer overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats, and the most important thing is the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time.
