Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double pushchair stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50 pounds. Its seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include one-parent cup holders and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get into and out of their seats and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some GYMAX Double Seat Stroller: Adjustable Handle Grey buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Pushchair: Lightweight Stroller.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to three children. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they're not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it comes with large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help little ones get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride 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 the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are slightly longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate the third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 50 lbs per seat and come with large pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to kick back and relax. The doubles also have cups for both parents and a a reversible cupholder on the back of the seat. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're starting out with an expanding family, consider adding the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The innovative 3-wheel design allows for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, and the sling seat is the perfect opportunity for babies to connect with their parents. It is easy to swap the seat with an infant car adapter once your children get older. You're now ready for your next adventure with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
