Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some also fold with seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful if storage space is at a premium.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family until three children. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children fold up in seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its light weight is a plus, but so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride 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 where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in handy. However, they are a bit longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a small model that has two additional seats, and the most important thing is a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
