Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with windows that are peekaboo. Other important features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to climb into and out of their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. double buggy travel system come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have a frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they require only 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 doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family, as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus but so are its key features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help little ones climb in and out of the seats; and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in handy. These buggies can be a bit longer and can be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families with growing children.

Comfort

These lightweight doubles can hold two children of up to 50 pounds per seat and come with large pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for the little ones to relax and kick back. The doubles also feature one cupholder for each parent and an adjustable cupholder on the seat back. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.
