Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 pounds. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine the ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven all terrain double stroller.

The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some also fold with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family to accommodate a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact nipper double buggy buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that aid little ones to climb into and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are good at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively compact double buggy pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate an additional child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggy. It has two different seating options for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated to face the 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 families that are growing.
