Weight
The weight of a
double buggy sale buggy is one the key factors that will determine its ease to push. In general, a buggy that is light will be easier to lift and transport, but may not have as much 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 total frame weight limits which is why it's essential to check the details of each model prior to making a buy. Some models fold with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair and have adapters that allow you to add 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, meaning they can grow along with your family with a third child. Doubles are heavier than trifolds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.
Folding

double buggy from birth buggies for young children fold up in seconds.

The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up over each seat and then the whole thing folds down. Even our most experienced testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.

Its lightweight weight is a plus however, it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that help youngsters climb in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact
double pram and pushchair stroller, it is important to think about its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies may be a bit longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added as well as - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry the third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit' that turns into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating options for children of varying ages and even allows the front seat to rotate to face parents, allowing for the ultimate face-to-face time. It also comes with a storage basket and is easy to fold. This is a great option for growing families.
