Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include one-parent cup holders and an enormous, self-standing basket that can hold up 25 pounds; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.

Weight

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

Check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double buggies come with a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some also fold with the seats removed to make them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double Buggy Travel System is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair, but they come with adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family as high as a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their cars and also 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 trifold, which even our most experienced testers can accomplish with just one hand.

Its lightweight weight is a plus but it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is simple to move around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are better than others such as the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this as can side-byside designs. However, these can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two seats in addition to - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms into an inline buggy.
