Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back 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 accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.
