Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine its ease to push. sit n stand double stroller is easier to lift and carry, but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model prior to you purchase. Some fold with the seats removed, making them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller 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 lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller and can be modified to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to three children. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children can fold up in just a few seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature because it lets them squeeze the buggies in the back of their vehicles and save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.

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 aid children to climb into and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.
Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats and more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.
Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits that transforms into an inline buggy.
