The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows.

Weight

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

The majority of double infant strollers buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame weight limits and it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a purchase. Some fold down with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single to double pushchair pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family with a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their car and also save storage space when they are not in use.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid little ones climb in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is easy to move around with two children in the. Certain pushchairs are better than others at this such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, these can be slightly longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry an additional child.

Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits which transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding.
