Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get in and out of their seats; and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to check the details of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they start as a single to double stroller stroller and can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double stroller double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a compact double pushchair from birth buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is simple to move around with both children on board. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they can be a bit longer overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively narrow pushchair twin that still allows for two seats to be added as well as - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which 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. It comes with two seating options for children of different ages, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families with growing children!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles are able to accommodate two children up to 50 lbs each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to give shade. The doubles come with a single parent cupholder and an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double car seat stroller ideal for toddlers and infants alike.
