It is a great option for suburban and urban families. double stroller for twins comes with a newborn-friendly two sets that include a wedgie for a lie-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Some double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats and others have an overall frame limit. Some also fold down with seats removed, making them smaller and lighter this can be beneficial when storage space is at an all-time low.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair, but they come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can adapt to your family until three children. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles. However, they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being evenly distributed.
Folding
The best small double buggies fold up easily, in a matter of minutes. Our Lab experts appreciate this feature since it helps them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and free up storage space when not in use. For instance the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that can be pulled up, and the entire thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our oldest testers could accomplish with just one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggies. Its lightweight weight is a plus but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid little ones get in and out of the seats and reclined seating and leg rests designed for younger kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is easy to move around with both children on board. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be handy. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit larger and could be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate the third child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are also incredibly agile, especially with its clever 'dot kit which transforms it into an inline buggy. This has a couple of different seating configurations that are suitable for children of different ages. It also allows the front seat to be turned to face parents for ultimate face-to-face time. It also has a great storage basket and is super-easy to fold. This is a great option for families with growing children.
