Weight
The weight of double buggie will determine the ease of pushing. Typically, a light buggy is easier to lift and transport however, it may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have total frame weight limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most 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 initially a single pushchair and have adapters to accommodate an additional seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them an ideal choice for growing families. Some, such as the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, so they can expand with your family with a third child. read what he said are heavier than tri-folds however, because the weight is more evenly distributed, they are much easier to maneuver.
Folding
The best double buggies for small spaces fold up easily in just a few seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts since they can put the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could do with one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus, but its main features are: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help little ones to climb into and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for smaller children.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting the right size double buggy is its maneuverability, particularly how easy it is to get around with both children aboard. Some pushchairs are better than others at this 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 come in handy. These buggies may be a little longer and can be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, since it's a narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating options for children of various ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents to create a more intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. A great choice for families with growing children!
