The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double car seat stroller stroller that can accommodate two children of with a weight of up to 50 pounds each. Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with peekaboo windows.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have an overall frame limit. Some also fold with seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair but come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can grow along with your family, as high as a 3rd child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature as it helps them squeeze the buggies in the back of their car and save storage space when not in use.

Manoeuvrability

When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, these can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.

Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy.
