The weight of a double buggy is one of the most important factors that determine the ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but may not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.

Check the specifications of each model carefully before buying. Some double pushchairs buggies come with the capacity to hold a maximum weight of a person while others have an overall frame limit. Some models fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact, which can be useful in cases where storage space is an all-time low.

Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also a bit smaller than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably hold twins or a toddler and a baby.

Manoeuvrability

Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

Buggies with narrow tandems can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, these can be a bit longer overall and so may be difficult to navigate through doors.
