Weight
The weight of a double buggie will determine its ability to push. A light buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to withstand bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat and some have overall frame weight limits and it's important to know the specifics of each model prior to making a purchase. Some models fold with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact, which can be useful when storage space is at the limit.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also a bit smaller than buggies that are side by side and can fit through most doors. lightest double stroller Pushchairs & Prams iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of most lightweight on the market.

Manoeuvrability
