Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows.

It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double car seat stroller buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family until the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save space when not being used. 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 could do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the best twin buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be useful. However, they are slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can carry the third child.

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

Comfort

With compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children of up to 50 pounds per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for children to kick back and relax.
