Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Some fold down with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double seat stroller buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that aid youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how easy it is to get around with two children in the. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, they are slightly longer overall and so may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!
