It features a pair of fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating options (including triple!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double pushchair sale stroller which can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are more spacious than the other double strollers with lightweights and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 that have peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get in and out of their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie for the best position to lie flat.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double travel buggy 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 buy. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can grow with your family up to a third child. These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, since the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The best double buggy newborn buggies for small children fold in a matter of minutes. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and conserve space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then 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 a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but is the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the twin buggy from birth. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added, and - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children as much as 50 pounds each and come with generous, pop-out canopies that extend far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to sit back and relax. They also have convenient reversible seatback cup holders and an individual cup holder for parents and a large underseat basket.

If you're starting out with a growing family, add the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike.

If your kids grow older, simply switch the sling to an infant car seat adapter and you're ready to go. With a premium rain cover and travel bag and ready for your next adventure!
