Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50lbs. Its seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to climb in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and carry however, it may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame weight limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some also fold with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies 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 hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggy double buggies designed for small children fold up in seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they're 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 senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it comes with big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help little ones to get into and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes 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 better than others.

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

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a small model that has two seats in addition to - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.
