Size

The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows.

Weight

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

Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight and others have an overall frame limit. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter, which can be useful if storage space is at a premium.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also 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 lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family until a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best small cheap double buggy buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use.

Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it has large pop-out canopy which have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters get in and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double buggy double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and may be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can carry the third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great 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 one cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.
