Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get into and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double stroller with infant car seat buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame maximums, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to you purchase. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family until three children. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggy double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid youngsters get in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is simple to move around with two children in the. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a little longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various age groups and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!

They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have a single parent cup holder and a large underseat basket.
