Weight

The weight of double buggie will determine its ability to push. A light buggy is easier 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 overall frame weight limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for families that are growing since they begin as a single to double stroller stroller and can be modified to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family to accommodate a third child. They are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.

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 to fit the buggies in the back of their vehicles and 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 do with one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is a good alternative for a small double buggies. Its lightweight twin buggy 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 that aid youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this as can side-byside designs. These buggies may be a little longer and could be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry a third child.

Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations for kids with different ages. It even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time.
