Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double buggy with car seat stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger bigger than those of other Lightweight Twin buggy double strollers, and the canopies have nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that are peekaboo.

This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double buggy travel system kit that includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have an overall frame limit. 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 an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doorways. 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 start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat they are an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family until a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it offers big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact smallest double buggy stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and can be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added as well as - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry an additional child.
Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy. It has two different seating arrangements for children of different ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents for an intimate bonding experience. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers, or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can watch both kids at the grocery store, park or any other place. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy that can be extended far enough to give shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seatback. They also come with a large underseat storage basket.
If you're beginning with a growing family, add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike.
