Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can hold two children weighing up to 50 lbs. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out.

It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport however, it may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double infant strollers buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model before you buy. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the top and lower 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 trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, even up to a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars to help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double buggy double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease 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 others.

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

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and more importantly, the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits' that turns into an inline buggy.
