Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50lbs. The seats are larger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of their seats. This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine the ease to push. Typically, a light buggy is more easy to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat, and some have overall frame limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to you purchase. Some models fold down with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is an all-time low.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family with a third child. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The most compact double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save space when not being used. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for a double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help little ones get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride 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.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this as can side-byside designs.
double pram stroller with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a compact model that can accommodate two seats in addition to more importantly, a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie.
