It comes with two fixed seats and can be configured with the possibility of up to 30 seating configurations (including three!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopies and peekaboo windows.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side by side double stroller. It can be used by two children up to 50 pounds. The seats are larger bigger than those of other lightweight double strollers and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include a self-standing bin with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent, and swing-away bars that help children get into and out their seats. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family up to a 3rd child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The best double tandem pushchair buggies for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and free up storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to do this tri-fold in just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for younger kids.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is easy to move around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot, are also incredibly agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be rotated to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It comes with a large storage basket and is easy to fold. It is a great option for families that are growing!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies parents can keep an eye on both kids while at the grocery store, park or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can accommodate two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with a pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the back of the seat. They also have an enormous underseat storage basket.

If you're beginning with an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double kit your dot buggy, transforming it into an inline double, ideal for toddlers and newborns alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides an excellent maneuverability and simple kerb pop, while the sling seat is a fab newborn-friendly option that will allow for a perfect face-to-face bonding time. You can easily swap the seat with an infant car adapter once your children grow older. You're ready to go on your next adventure with deluxe travel bag and rain cover included!
