The seats are bigger than similar strollers that are lightweight and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out.

It's a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include an infant wedgie that can be used to lie flat in a position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies have a maximum seat weight while others have an overall frame limit. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat they are a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family as high as a 3rd child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save storage space when not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced 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 buggies. Its light weight is a plus but so are the features it offers big pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and windows that peek out at you; swing-away bars to help youngsters get in and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.
When choosing a small double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease 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 better at this than other models.
The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a bit longer and could be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that 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 models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit' that turns it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces the parents for more intimate bonding. It also comes with a storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.
