Weight
The weight of a double buggy is among the key factors that will determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.
The majority of double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame maximums which is why it's essential to know the specifics of each model before you purchase. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they require only one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also narrower 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 on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they start as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating options, so they can adapt to your family, with a third child. They are generally heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're usually easier to move across kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Its lightweight weight is a plus, but it also has some great features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that help children get in and out of the seats; and reclined seats and leg rests for smaller kids.
Manoeuvrability
One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a compact double stroller double buggy is its maneuverability and how it is easy to move around with both children on board. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others in this regard such as the iCandy Orange's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).
The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies may be a bit larger and may be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a small model that has two additional seats, and the most important thing is the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot extremely agile, particularly thanks to its clever 'dot kit that transforms it into an inline buggie.
