Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame limits which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some models fold with the seats removed to make them smaller and lighter this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family to accommodate a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their cars and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then 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 another great choice for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus however, it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid children get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggy. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.
