Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and transport but it might not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model before purchasing. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lighter models available. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families since they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family, with a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, best double stroller to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.
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 fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggie. Its light weight is a plus, but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests for smaller children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is simple to move around with two children on board. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in useful. However, these can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!

These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children of up to 50 pounds each and come with large pop-out canopy that extends enough to provide real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to sit back and relax. They also come with cup holders for the seatback that are reversible, as well as a single parent cup holder, plus a large underseat basket.
If you're just beginning to build an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and newborns alike.
