The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and carry, but might not have enough suspension to handle bumps and uneven terrain.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. double pushchair sale are also narrower than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is one of lightest on the market. It can comfortably fit twins or a toddler and baby.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a comparatively narrow model that allows for two additional seats and - most importantly - an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
