Size

Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the key factors that will determine how easy it is to push. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and carry, but may not have the suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Some fold with seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter, which can be useful when storage space is at a premium.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for families that are growing because they begin as a single stroller and can be adapted to include a second seat such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating options, so they can expand with your family up to the age of a third child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, but they're generally easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being more evenly distributed.

Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is easy to move around with two children in the. Some pushchairs, for instance 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 good at this, as are side-by-side designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and could be difficult to get through doors.
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 as well as an important feature - the 'piggyback' board which can accommodate a third child.
