Weight

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

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact double buggy. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families.

These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and also save storage space when they are not in use.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children 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.

Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats and more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.

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