Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double twin stroller. It can hold two children up to 50 lbs. The seats are larger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get in and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport but it might not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some also fold with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter this can be beneficial if storage space is at an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, as high as a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a sit n stand double stroller buggies. Its light weight is a plus, but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid children get in and out of the seats; sit and stand double stroller reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact 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, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy.
