Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections.

Narrow tandem buggies can be good at this, as are side-by-side designs. However, they can be slightly longer overall and can be difficult to maneuver through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is a great example, as it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats, and - most importantly - the pillion board, which can accommodate a third kid.
