Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopy is fitted with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows.

It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn-ready with a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine the ease to push. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame limits which is why it's essential to check the details of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is helpful 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 bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can expand with your family, even with a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up and the whole thing folds down. it's a tri-fold that even our most senior testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it offers big pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help children get into and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others at this such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in useful. However, these can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face bonding time. double infant stroller has a great storage basket and is easy to fold.
