What to Look For in a Compact double buggy newborn Buggy

Kerry says that this side-byside is small enough to fit through most doors and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It features an auto-standing folding mechanism as well as handy carry straps that make it easy to carry.

The canopies are also easy to move and lift up and down the stairs. The canopies have generously sized windows and peekaboo openings.

Size

Double buggy features that you should consider include an enormous shopping basket, rear and front suspension, and strong frame. You might also want to think about whether it's a travel system or the possibility of adding a car seat or carrycot. These are important considerations when you have to take your children on public transport or on longer journeys.

Consider the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a small double push chair buggy that you can use from birth. This side-by-side model has an intelligent frame that can be expanded so that it can accommodate two children. The seats have a recline option and can be placed in a different way, which gives you the choice of one child leaning back and taking a nap while the other one gazes out at the world around them. You get a big UPF 50+ canopy with the option of a peekaboo window as well.

Another great option for infant twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest twin pushchair that is available on the market. It is only 63cm in width and should fit through the majority of doors. It can also take two car seats or one carrycot and has lie-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies are popular among parents of twins or parents with a baby and a toddler. They do have a larger space than single double stroller-seaters, and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or on pavements.

The iCandy Orange is a popular tandem buggy that has been designed to adapt to your family. It comes with 30 different seating configurations. The iCandy Orange tandem buggy can be used for twins or a child, toddler or even three children when you add the iCandy 'PiggyBack board' (available separately). It has soft suspension that allows for easy work of kerbs. It can be used in a mono or double mode. You can attach a single stroller on top to store additional items.

Weight

A good double buggy should be light and easy to push. It should come with an ample shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions that allow the child to traverse rougher terrain, and be suitable for twins as well as siblings of different ages.

Many compact double buggies have frames that are designed to take infant car seats and come with branded adaptors to match popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are a great option if you have younger children with medical issues and you want to avoid the need to purchase separate strollers.

However, they do tend to have a wider footprint than side-by-side buggies, and are more difficult to fit through doors and public transport. If this is important to you, make sure to check the product's specifications to see if there are any alternatives available.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the most compact double stroller on the market. This is the thinnest side-byside on the market that measures just 63cm in width. It is able to carry twins or an infant and a toddler. It is built to last and offers superior performance thanks to its large air-filled tyres that are all-terrain but equally comfortable cruising around the city.

Another great option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can carry twins or one toddler and one baby or two kids with a piggy back board (which you need to buy separately). It is equipped with an adjustable carry strap that can stand on its own and folds down to make it easy to transport. It also has front and back suspensions to assist you in navigating rough terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but lighter than the majority of trifold buggies. This is a great option for older children.

Folding

A good lightweight double stroller stroller needs to be compact for storage. A good choice is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This model is a side-byside and has a smooth fold. The frame expands when you fold it, which means it's more compact than a single stroller. This allows it to be more easily maneuvered through doorways and public transportation, while eliminating the need for a second vehicle.

It's a good option for parents with twins, as it can be used in a mono or duo mode with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can also hold a third rider on the buggy's 'piggyback board, and provides an array of configurations with an elevated stadium-style seating to give the children both views of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake, which allows you to push the buggy up and down hills.

Another alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest side-by-side footprint on the market at the smallest 63cm. This makes it ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting a double-doorway on public transport. However, it can still handle rough terrain like an off-roader. It can carry twins or a toddler and baby or two children who are the same age and each seat can recline independently to keep the kids at ease.

One final good choice is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in mono or tandem mode, and can be used with a car seats/seats, or an infant seat and carrycot. It's slightly longer than other doubles but it offers excellent maneuverability especially on smooth surfaces. This is a fantastic option for those who want an attractive and practical buggy.

There are many budget double buggies, such as the UPPAbaby vista 2. This small side-by-side can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, a toddler in the seat, or even three children if you add the PiggyBack ride on board that is branded with some pizazz. It has a simple self-standing fold as well as a big canopy that gives both kids some protection and includes a peekaboo window. It's also relatively light for a double buggy and has a larger undercarriage basket to store shopping.
