Most double buggies have a maximum weight per seat, and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to you buy. Certain double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.

The tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models since only one hand is needed to lift the front and back sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them an ideal choice to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the most lightweight on the market.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs come in useful. However, they can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doors.
