Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame maximums, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Some models fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at a premium.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they only require a single hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them a good choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family to accommodate the age of a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a Stokke Double Stroller buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it has large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double buggy from birth stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. These buggies can be a little longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added, and - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry the third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits that transforms it into an inline buggy. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to provide more intimate bonding. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families that are growing.
