Size

Its seats are more generously bigger than those of other strollers with lightweight designs, and the canopies have spacious SPF 50 sunshades, with windows that are peekaboo.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies have an upper limit on the weight of the seats while others have a frame limit. Some fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller, but can be adapted to accommodate a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can grow with your family to accommodate three children. Doubles are heavier than tri-folds however, since the weight is more evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to move around.
Folding

Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to travel in the buggy. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. These buggies may be a bit larger and could be difficult to get through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry an additional child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kit that transforms into an inline buggy. It offers two seating options for children of different age groups, and the front seat can be turned to face the parents for more intimate bonding.
