Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and are able to fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market, and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

The narrow tandem buggies are effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. However, they are more substantial overall and so may be difficult to maneuver through doorways.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a small model that has two additional seats and more importantly, an auxiliary board that can be used to accommodate a third child.
