Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can accommodate two children of up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy comes with 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 accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bar for children to climb out and in their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. It is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.
twin pushchair of a double buggies will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame maximums and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is helpful in cases where you have limited storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom 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 trifold doubles on the market. It can 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 such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their cars and save storage space when 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 trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it offers big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is simple to move around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, these can be slightly longer overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a small model that has two additional seats, and - most importantly - a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to create more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!

The doubles also feature cups for both parents and a an adjustable cupholder on the back of the seat. They also come with an enormous underseat storage basket.
