Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double buggy that converts to single stroller which can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine its ease to push. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double pushchair buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame maximums, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you buy double pushchairs. Some also fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is the limit.

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

Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family up to a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. However, they can be more substantial overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie.
