Weight
The weight of a double buggies will determine the ease of pushing. In general, a buggy that is light will be easier to lift and carry however, it may not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame weight limits which is why it's essential to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family to accommodate the age of 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 more evenly distributed.
Folding
The most compact double buggies fold easily and can be folded in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their car and save storage space when they are not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold that even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is a great option for double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that include SPF 50 protection and a the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help youngsters to get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability especially how it is simple to move around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, they can be more substantial overall and so may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely flexible. This is particularly evident with its innovative "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie. It has two different seating options for children of various age groups and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also comes with a storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great choice for growing families.
Comfort
With narrow tandem strollers, or flexible side-by-side buggies, parents can monitor both kids while at the park, grocery store or wherever else. These lightweight doubles can hold two children, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. They also come with pop-out canopy which can be extended enough to provide real shade. They also come with convenient cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have one cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.
If you're just beginning to build a growing family, you can add the double kit from phil&teds to your dot buggy to turn it into an inline double ideal for toddlers and infants alike. The clever 3-wheel design makes for simple kerb popping and excellent maneuverability, while the sling seat offers the perfect opportunity for babies to bond with their parents. As your children get older, simply change the sling out for an infant car seat adapter and you're set to go. You're ready to go on your next adventure, with a deluxe travel bag and rain cover!
