Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the main factors that determine how easy it is to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Some double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person and others have a frame limit. Some fold with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all-time low.
The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the bottom 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 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
Tandem buggies are ideal for growing families because they begin as a single stroller but can be adapted to include a second child such as a car seat or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange offer over 30 different seating configurations, meaning they can grow along with your family, even up to a 3rd child. They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being evenly distributed.

Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to think about when selecting a small double buggy is its manoeuvrability and how it is easy to move around with two children aboard. Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
This is where narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can come in useful. However, these can be a bit longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example, since it's a small pushchair that allows for two seats to be added and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can carry an additional child.
Other three-wheeled models like the phil&teds dot are extremely agile, particularly with its clever 'dot kits which transforms into an inline buggy.
