Weight

The weight of double buggies will determine its ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Most double pram buggy buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial if storage space is at an all-time low.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies sit and Stand double stroller can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are perfect for growing families because they start as a single stroller, but can be modified to accommodate a second hand double buggy seat or car seat, or carrycot.

These doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Folding

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a the peek-a-boo window as well as swing-away bars to assist children to get into and out of their seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is simple to move around with both children on board. Some pushchairs are better than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, they are a bit longer overall and so may be tricky to navigate through doors.

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

Other three-wheeled models such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggy. It has two different seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to create an intimate bonding experience.
