It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including the triangular design!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from a distance.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller which can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large sunshades with SPF 50 with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent, and bars that swing away to help children get into and out their seats. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the double set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame maximums which is why it’s essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is a great option when you’re limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing since they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family to accommodate three children. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can put the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage but its main features are such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it’s important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. double to single buggy are better than others such as the iCandy Orange’s “cinema seat” (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and may be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is especially the case with its clever “dot kit” that transforms it into an inline buggie. This has a couple of different seating options for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding time. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families that are growing.

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can monitor both kids at the park, at the grocery store or any other place. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to provide real shade. They also come with convenient cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as a single parent cup holder as well as a huge underseat basket.
