Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50lbs. The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to get out and in their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine its ability to push. Typically, a light buggy will be easier to lift and transport but it might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it comes with big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist children get in and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. 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 the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. However, they can be slightly longer overall and can be tricky to maneuver 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 as well as the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry a third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy.
