Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy has nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for kids to get into and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats, while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, as high as a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their vehicles and free up storage space when not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help little ones climb in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is simple to move around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to the most important thing is the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families with growing children!
