Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a Double Buggy travel system stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are larger sized than those of other double strollers that are lightweight and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows.

This is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly the stokke double stroller set which includes a wedgie for a lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of double buggy with carrycot buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and transport however, it may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame maximums, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to you purchase. Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of seats and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to think about when selecting a small double running buggy buggy is its maneuverability especially how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and - most importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits that transforms 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 comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.

They also have convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.
