Some also fold down with seats removed, making them even lighter and more compact this can be beneficial when storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single double stroller hand to lift the top and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies start out 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.

When choosing a small double buggy that converts to single stroll, it's important to take into account its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than others.
The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are more substantial overall and can be tricky to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, as it's a relatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added, and - importantly - an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry the third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" which transforms it into an inline buggie.
