The majority of double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight for each seat, and some have overall frame limits, so it's important to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models, as they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good choice for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

Certain pushchairs, like 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 effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, they can be a bit longer overall and can be tricky to navigate through doorways.
