Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are more generously large than other lightweight double strollers, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with capacity of 25 pounds, double stroller with standing platform cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person, while others have a frame limit. Some models fold down with seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, up to a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them to fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when they are not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The lightweight 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 big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help little ones to get into and out of seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies may be a bit larger and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin pushchair from birth is a great example, as it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats and more importantly, the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits that transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time.
