Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is useful when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest, 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 can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Folding

The lightweight Delta Children LX side by side is another great choice for double buggies. Its lightness is an advantage but is the features it has: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children get in and out of seats; and reclining chair and leg rests for young children.
Manoeuvrability
When selecting a compact double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This is a good indicator of how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are better than others in this regard, including the iCandy Orange's 'cinema seat' (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can be handy. However, these can be a bit longer overall and can be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is an 'piggyback'-style board that can accommodate the third child.
