Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family, as high as a 3rd child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggies. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers big pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters get in and out of seats and reclined chairs and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than other models.
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and may be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit' that turns into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of different ages and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents to create an intimate bonding experience.
