Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the main factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Be sure to check the specifications of each model carefully before purchasing. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Some fold with seats removed, making them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat which makes them the ideal choice for expanding families.

These doubles are heavier than tri-folds, however, because the weight is evenly distributed, they are easier to maneuver.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in handy. However, they are more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it is a relatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and the most important thing is an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third child.
