Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double Stroller With snack tray stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some fold with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lighter models available. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family to accommodate three children. They are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their car and also 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 most experienced testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to consider 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 better at this than other models.

Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and - most importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!

These lightweight doubles are able to hold two children, up to 50 lbs each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to offer real shade. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seatback. They also come with an ample underseat storage basket.
