Weight

The weight of a double buggy converts to single buggy is one the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits and it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double running stroller (her latest blog) is among the most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller and can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, even with a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help little ones to climb into and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is 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.

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie.
