Weight

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, which makes them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and baby.

However, they're usually easier to move between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.
Folding

Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double buggy sale stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others, including the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
Buggies with narrow tandems can be excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, they can be more substantial overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doors.
