Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight and others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

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

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in just a few seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it comes with large pop-out canopy which have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children get into and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance 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 come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doorways.

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