The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy will be more easy to lift and carry however, it may not have as much suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat and some have total frame weight limits which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model prior to you purchase. Some fold with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option if storage space is at the limit.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.

Doubles are heavier than trifolds, but because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to think about its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of 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 others.
Narrow tandem buggies can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it is a relatively small model that has two additional seats and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third child.
