Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and more compact. This is useful in cases where you have limited storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the front and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market. It is able to comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this as can side-byside designs. However, they can be slightly longer overall, and therefore could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, as it's a relatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added, and - importantly - the 'piggyback' board which can carry the third child.
