Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are larger large than other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that are peekaboo. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get into and out of their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. double pram and pushchair is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children 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 with a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it has big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help children get into and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others at this and include the iCandy's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are more substantial overall, and therefore could be tricky to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively small model that has two seats in addition to the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely flexible. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents for an intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. double pram pushchair is a great choice for families with growing children.
Comfort

These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to provide real shade.
