Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger bigger than those of other double strollers that are lightweight, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows.

It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also newborn ready with a double buggy with carrycot kit that includes a newborn wedgie for an optimum lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ability to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doorways. 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 are ideal for families with growing children since they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to accommodate a second hand double buggy seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can grow with your family up to the age of a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts because they can put 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 tri-fold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window and swing-away bars that help little ones to get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is 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 other models.
The narrow tandem double stroller buggies are excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats and - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy.
