Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can be used by two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. Its seats are larger bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy comes with nice-sized SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows.

Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine its ease of pushing. In general, a buggy that is light is more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to you purchase. Some fold with the seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful if storage space is at an all-time low.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. twin buggy than side-byside buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins, or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children since they begin as a single stroller and can be modified to accommodate a second seat, car seat or carrycot. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family with a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles. However, they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding

Our Lab experts love this feature since it helps them fit the buggies into the back of their car 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 each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold in just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection as well as a windows that peek out at you and swing-away bars that help children to get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how easy it is to get around with both children on board. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.
Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. However, they are a bit longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added, and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding.
