Some models fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter this can be beneficial when storage space is at the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies are ideal for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller, but can be adapted to include a second child or car seat, or carrycot.
