Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller with infant car seat stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50lbs. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows.

This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

The weight of double buggy converts to single buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best twin stroller small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it comes with big pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children get into and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to provide more intimate bonding. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!
