It has a pair fixed seats with up to 30 different seating configurations are possible (including a triangular one!). Both seats come with UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.

Size

The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double stroller that can hold two children up to 50 lbs each. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders with one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can hold up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get into and out of their seats and the wheels can be locked with swivels for better manoeuvrability on tough terrain. This is a great option for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double to single buggy kit that includes a newborn wedgie that allows for the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

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

Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed to make them lighter and more compact and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

Tandem buggies start out as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them a great option for growing families. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can grow along with your family with a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Folding

The best double buggies designed for small children fold up in minutes. This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts because it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up on each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.

The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double jogging stroller buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window; swing-away bars to help little ones get in and out of seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.

Manoeuvrability

One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy newborn buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how it is simple to move around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this as can side-byside designs. However, these can be more substantial overall and can be tricky to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added as well as an important feature - an 'piggyback'-style board that can carry an additional child.

Other models with three wheels like the phil&teds dot also incredibly agile, especially thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie. It offers two seating arrangements for children of different ages and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces the parents to provide an intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. It is a great option for families with growing children!

Comfort

With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both children at the park, at the grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can carry two children up to 50 pounds each and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends enough to provide real shade, with windows that peek out and padded leg rests for children to relax and kick back. They also come with reversible seatback cup holders and one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.
