Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. The seats are bigger than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs and cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the key factors that will determine the ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Some also fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful if storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family until the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The most best compact double stroller double buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their car and free up storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but also the features it offers large pop-out canopy which include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help little ones get in and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able 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 others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. However, they can be more substantial overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate a third child.
Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with different seating configurations for kids of different ages. It also allows the front seat to rotate to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It has an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!
