Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.

Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is helpful if you are limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them a good 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 toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add a carrycot, a second seat or car seat they are the ideal choice for expanding families.

They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding
The most effective double buggies for young children can fold up in just a few seconds.

When picking a compact double twin stroller side by side, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in useful. However, these can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be tricky to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, because it's a comparatively small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added, and the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can be used to carry a third child.
