Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport however, it may not have the suspension to handle 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 and it's important to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some also fold with the seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at an all-time low.
double infant stroller -fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families since they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family up to the age of a third child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, these can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate a third child.
