Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy will be easier to lift and carry but it might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat and some have overall frame weight limits and it's important to check the details of each model prior to making a purchase. Some double buggies can fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and are able to fit through most doors. double stroller sale is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for growing families because they start as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family until three children. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best double buggies designed for small children fold up in seconds. Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and also save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up on the seats and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to do the tri-fold with only one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for double buggie. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid children climb in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are good at this, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a bit longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a compact model that can accommodate two additional seats and the most important thing is the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.
