Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. Its seats are more generously large than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have peekaboo windows.

It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with two kits that include the newborn's wedgie to ensure the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a buy. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. single to double buggy is helpful in cases where you have limited storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they require only one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children since they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to accommodate a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family up to a 3rd child. They are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles 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 the entire thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus, but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help youngsters to climb into and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a compact double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is simple to move around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, these can be slightly longer overall and can be tricky to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can carry a third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face time. It also comes with a storage basket and is super-easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families with growing children!
