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

Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have as much suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight while others have a frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market, and can comfortably accommodate 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 which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family to accommodate three children. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds but because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to move around.
Folding
The best double buggies for small children fold up in minutes. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their cars and also save storage space when not in use. For instance, the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold, which 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 lightweight 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 to climb into and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others at this and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and could be difficult to get through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie.
