Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can seat two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other strollers double with lightweight twin stroller designs and the canopy has nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and swivel lock front wheels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for an optimum lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of Double Buggy With Car Seat buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a buy. Some fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double infant strollers is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family until a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help youngsters get into and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how easy it is to get around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and can be difficult to get through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two seats in addition to - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating options for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to provide more intimate bonding. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children up to 50 pounds per seat and come with spacious pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. They also come with cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have an individual cup holder for parents, plus a large underseat basket.

If you're just beginning to build an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double car seat stroller kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The innovative 3-wheel design offers an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is an excellent newborn-ready choice for ultimate face to face bonding time. You can easily swap out the seat for an infant car adapter when your children grow older. You're ready for your next adventure with a luxury travel bag and rain cover!
