Most double buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to you purchase. Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is helpful in cases where you have limited storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

twin pushchairs
When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to take into account 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 better than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in useful. These buggies can be a little longer and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively compact pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can carry a third child.
