Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are larger bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars to help kids get into and out their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles 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 the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help little ones to get into and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is simple to move around with two children in the. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, these can be slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and the most important thing is a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits that transforms into an inline buggy. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents for more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.
