Weight

The weight of a double buggy that converts to single buggy is among the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport however, it may not have enough suspension to withstand 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 weight limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them ideal for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how easy it is to get around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs are better than others at this and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they are more substantial overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively small double stroller pushchair that allows two seats to be added and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate an additional child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy. It has two different seating options for children of various ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents for an intimate bonding experience.
