Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy comes with spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that are peekaboo.

Get Source is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine its ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families since they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, even as high as a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is simple to move around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to get through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different age groups and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to create an intimate bonding experience. double buggy travel system comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold.
