Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame weight limits and it's important to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some also fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at a premium.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them ideal to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family to accommodate the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies in the back of their cars and free up storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the entire thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do this tri-fold in just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggie. Its light weight is a plus, but so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid youngsters get in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. However, they can be more substantial overall and can be tricky to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry the third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits which transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for more intimate bonding.
