Most double infant stroller buggies have an upper limit on the weight of each seat, and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to verify the specifications of each model before you purchase. Some also fold with the seats removed to make them even smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option when storage space is at the limit.

The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest, since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Folding

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroll, it's important to think about its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to travel in the buggy.

The narrow tandem buggies are good at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they are a bit longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can accommodate a third kid.
