It is a great choice for urban and suburban families. It also comes with a double kit that includes a newborn wedgie for the perfect lie-flat position. Weight The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine the ease to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and carry but may not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain. The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model before you buy. Some models fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at a premium. The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler. Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can adapt to your family until the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly. Folding The best double buggies for small spaces fold easily and can be folded in a matter of seconds. This feature is well-loved by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when they're not in use. For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that are able to be pulled up and the whole thing folds down. it's a trifold, which even our most senior testers could do with one hand. The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another good choice for a small double buggies. Its lightweight weight is an advantage however, so are its key features: nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swing-away bars that help children climb in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests designed for younger children. Manoeuvrability One of the most important factors to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its maneuverability especially how it is simple to move around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs, like 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 as well as side-by-side designs can be useful. However, they are slightly longer overall, and therefore could be tricky to maneuver through doors. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it is a relatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child. Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit which transforms into an inline buggy. It offers two seating arrangements for children of various age groups, and the front seat can be rotated to face the parents to create more intimate bonding. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and is easy to fold. double pushchair with car seat is a great option for families with growing children.
