Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one of the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before buying. Certain double buggies have the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have a frame limit. Some also fold with seats removed to make them smaller and lighter and compact, which is a great option in cases where storage space is an all-time low.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them ideal for fitting through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably hold twins or a baby and toddler.

They tend to be heavier than tri-fold doubles, however they're often easier to maneuver between kerbs due to the weight being distributed more evenly.

Manoeuvrability
One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing the right size double buggy is its manoeuvrability, particularly how it is easy to move around with two children in the. Certain pushchairs are more efficient than others and include the iCandy's "cinema seat" (where the back is elevated).
This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in handy. These buggies can be a little longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
