Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger 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 notable features include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get into and out their seats. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them a good choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold thule double stroller is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, with a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help youngsters climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the twin buggy from birth. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in useful. These buggies may be a bit longer and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively small model that has two seats in addition to the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.
Comfort

These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for little ones to sit and stand double stroller back and relax. They also have convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as a single parent cup holder, plus a large underseat basket.
If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, while the sling seat is a great option for newborns to connect with their parents.
