Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can hold two children weighing up to 50 pounds. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that are peekaboo. Other important features include cup holders with one parent and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to climb out and in their seats and the front wheels that swivel lock for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn ready with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. In general, a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Some models fold down with seats removed to make them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is a premium.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. 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 baby.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family until a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because they can put the buggies inside the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire 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 a good alternative for a compact double pram pushchair buggie. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it offers big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters to get into and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in handy. These buggies may be a little longer and can be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair double is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggy. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various ages and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to provide more intimate bonding. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.
