Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side
double running buggy stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. Its seats are more generously sized than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that peek out. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with capacity of 25 pounds cup holders for one parent and swing-away bars that help children get into and out their seats. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and
compact double stroller, which is a great option if storage space is at a premium.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold
double buggy side by side is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family, with a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature because it lets them squeeze the buggies into the back of their cars and save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggies. Its
lightweight double Stroller weight is a plus however, its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help children climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seating and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a small
double stroller with bassinet buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is easy to move around with two children aboard. Certain pushchairs are better than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are a bit longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a small model that has two additional seats and - most importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents for more intimate bonding. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great solution for families that are growing.

Parents can keep both children in sight at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can carry two children as much as 50 pounds each and come with large pop-out canopy that extends far enough to offer real shade, with peekaboo windows and padded leg rests for the little ones to kick back and relax. The doubles also feature cups for both parents and a an reversible cupholder that is located on the seat back. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.
