The weight of a double buggies will determine its ability to push. Typically, a light buggy will be more easy to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight, while others have a frame limit. Some models fold with the seats removed to make them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is a premium.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also narrower than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are great for families that are growing because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second child, car seat or carrycot. Some models, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family up to the age of a third child. They are heavier than tri-folds, however, since the weight is evenly dispersed, they are more comfortable to maneuver.

This feature is appreciated by our Lab experts as it allows them to fit the buggies into the back of their vehicles and save space when they're not in use. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example comes with straps that can be pulled up on the seats and then the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers could do this tri-fold with just one hand.

This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added and - importantly - a 'piggyback' board that can accommodate the third child.
