Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller with car seat stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other features that are important include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for kids to get into and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a sit n stand double stroller buggy is one the main factors that determine its ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you buy. Some fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them ideal for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest double stroller tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making 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, up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold, which even our most senior testers could do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help little ones get in and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits' that turns into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of various ages, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children as much as 50 pounds each and come with generous pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade, with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for the little ones to sit and stand double stroller back and relax. The doubles also have a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.
