Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine the ability to push. In general, a twin buggy from birth that is light will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight while others have an overall frame limit. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they start as a single and double stroller stroller and can be modified to accommodate a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family, up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is easy to move around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are good at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry the third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits' that turns it into an inline buggie.
