The weight of double pram stroller buggie will determine the ease of pushing. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven all terrain double buggy.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some fold down with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial when storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family, with a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies in the back of their cars and save space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up and the whole thing folds down -- it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you as well as swing-away bars to assist children get in and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability and how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and the most important thing is a pillion board that can accommodate a third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggie.
