This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It is also newborn-ready with two sets that include a wedgie to help you sleep in a lying-flat position.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry, but may not have as much suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat, and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to you purchase. Some fold with the seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial if storage space is at the limit.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are initially a single pushchair and have adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families. Some models, such as the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to the age of a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, swing-away bars that aid youngsters to climb into and out of the seats and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to think about when selecting a compact double buggy is its maneuverability and how easy it is to get around with both children in the. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. These buggies may be a bit longer and may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a compact pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with two seating arrangements for children of various ages, and the front seat can be rotated so that it faces parents for a more intimate bonding experience. It also has a great storage basket that is easy to fold. This is a great solution for growing families.
Comfort

These lightweight doubles can hold two children as much as 50 lbs per seat and come with generous pop-out canopy, which extends far enough to offer real shade with window windows that can be seen from a distance and padded legs rests for little ones to sit back and relax. They also come with cup holders that can be reversible and placed on the seatback. They also have an individual cup holder for parents as well as a huge underseat basket.
