The Joovy Kooper X2 is a double umbrella stroller stroller that is side-by-side and can hold two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight double strollers and the canopy is fitted with large sunshades with SPF 50 with windows that peek out.

It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a newborn-friendly a double pushchairs with Quick fold technology set that includes a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.

Weight

The weight of a double stroller with bassinet buggy is one of the main factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies come with a maximum seat weight while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter, which can be useful if storage space is at a premium.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate a carrycot, a second seat or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations so they can adapt to your family until a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Folding

The most compact double buggies fold up easily in a matter of minutes. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts since it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and conserve space when they are not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example has straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers were able to fold this tri-fold with just one hand.

The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggy travel system buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but also the features it offers large pop-out canopy which come with SPF 50 protection as well as a peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist youngsters to get into and out of their seats; and reclined chair and leg rests for young children.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, these can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats and more importantly, a pillion board that can accommodate a third kid.

Other models with three wheels such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kits' that turns into an inline buggy. It has different seating configurations for kids of varying ages and even allows the front seat to be turned to face the parents for optimum face-to-face bonding. It comes with an ample storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great choice for families that are growing.

Comfort

Parents can keep both children within sight at the park, in the grocery store or wherever else using narrow tandem buggies, or side-by-side buggies. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also have a pop-out canopy that can be extended enough to give shade. The doubles also feature a single parent cupholder and an reversible cupholder that is located on the back of the seat. They also include an ample underseat storage basket.

If you're just beginning to build an expanding family, consider adding the phil&teds double stroller with bassinet kit to your dot buggy to transform it into an inline double, perfect for newborns & toddlers alike. The clever 3-wheel design provides the best maneuverability and a simple kerb pop, whilst the sling seat is a fab baby-friendly option for the ultimate face-to-face bonding. As your children become older, simply swap the sling for an infant car seat adapter and you're good to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure, with a luxurious travel bag and rain cover!
