Weight
The weight of double buggies will determine the ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is a great option if you are limited on storage space.
cheap double pushchair -fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families since they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family to accommodate the age of a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their car and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help little ones get into and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in useful. These buggies can be a bit larger and may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry an additional child.
