Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers double that are lightweight and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine its ability to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be easier to lift and transport, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight, while others have an overall frame limit. Some fold with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter, which can be useful when storage space is at an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate 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 or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family as high as a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it offers large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

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

Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this as can side-byside designs. These buggies can be a bit longer and may be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively compact pushchair twin that allows two seats to be added, and an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents to create more intimate bonding.
