The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is a side-by-side double stroller. It can hold two children who weigh up to 50 lbs. Its seats are larger large than other strollers with lightweight designs and the canopy comes with large SPF 50 sunshades that have windows that peek out. Other key features include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 pounds; swing-away bars for kids to get out and in their seats; and the wheels can be locked with swivels to allow for better maneuverability on rough terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with the double kit which includes the newborn's wedgie to ensure the perfect lie-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame maximums and it's important to know the specifics of each model before you buy. Some fold down with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact, which can be useful if storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children since they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can adapt to your family, even with a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The most effective double buggies for young children fold in a matter of seconds. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them fit the buggies in the back of their car and also save storage space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to 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 is the features it comes with: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window and swing-away bars that help youngsters get into and out of their seats; and reclined chairs and leg rests designed for toddlers.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a best compact double stroller double stroller, you need to take into account its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs double, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this as can side-byside designs. However, they are slightly longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively small model that has two additional seats and - most importantly - a pillion board that can be used to accommodate a third child.

Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggy. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It comes with an enormous storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for families with growing children!
