Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 lbs. Its seats are larger large than other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows. Other notable features include a self-standing basket with a capacity of 25 lbs, cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. It is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of double buggies will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at the limit.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are an ideal choice for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family, up to a 3rd child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. For example, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggies. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it has big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you as well as swing-away bars to assist children get in and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability and how easy it is to get around with both children in the. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard 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 come in useful. 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's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats, and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit that transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to create a more intimate bonding experience.
