Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 double pram buggy stroller is a side-by side double stroller. It can accommodate two children up to 50lbs. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy has large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other key features include a self-standing basket with the capacity of 25lbs and cup holders for one parent and bars that swing away to help children to get into and out of their seats. It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It is also baby-friendly with the double set which includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggies will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have total frame weight limits which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to making a purchase. Some fold down with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they require only one hand to lift the top and lower sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them a good choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest double stroller trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families since they begin as a single stroller but can be modified to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can expand with your family until the age of a third child. These doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to move around.

Folding

The best double buggy small double buggies fold easily and can be folded in just a few seconds. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies inside the back of their cars and conserve space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold the tri-fold with only one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small cheap double buggy buggie. Its light weight is a plus however, its main features are including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars to help little ones climb in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger children.

Manoeuvrability

When choosing a small double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are better than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, these can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin pushchair from birth is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively small model that has two seats in addition to more importantly, the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is especially evident with its innovative "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned so that it faces parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It has a large storage basket and is easy to fold. A great choice for families that are growing!
