Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest of models since only one hand is required to lift the lower and back sections. They are also smaller than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market.

Manoeuvrability
When choosing a small double stroller, you need to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to be able to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard, as are side-by-side designs. These buggies can be a little longer and can be difficult to navigate through doors.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, since it's a comparatively compact model that can accommodate two additional seats, and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.
Other smaller, three-wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also extremely agile. This is especially the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie.
