Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport but it might not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double pushchair with car seat buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame maximums which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family with a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggie. Its lightweight double pushchair weight is a plus, but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively compact twin pushchair that allows two seats to be added and the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry the third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits' that turns into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It has an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families with growing children.
