Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are larger sized than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some double buggies are able to fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.

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

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family up to a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. However, these can be a bit longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of various ages and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children safe at the park, in the grocery store, or any other place with narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies.

The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and a reversible cupholder on the back of the seat. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.
