Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can be used by two children weighing up to 50 pounds. The seats are bigger than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out.

It is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, 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 limits and it's important to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a buy. Some fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, even with a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily, in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save space when not being used. 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 most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for a double buggie. Its lightness is a plus but so are the features it has big pop-out canopy that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help children get in and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.
double pushchair
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride 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.
double pram and pushchair are excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a small pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits which transforms into an inline buggy.
