The Joovy Kooper X2 amazon double stroller stroller is a side by side double running stroller stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 pounds.

Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. In general, a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double stroller for twins buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair but come with adapters that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family up to a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they're not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others at this, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
Narrow tandem double stroller buggies can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.
