Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double buggy newborn stroller is a side-by side double stroller with car seat stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50lbs. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb out and in their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

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

Most double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

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

Tandem buggies are ideal for growing families because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second hand double buggy child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family to accommodate the age of a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold 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 double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it comes with large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help youngsters get in and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!
