Some fold with seats removed to make them lighter and more compact this can be beneficial in cases where storage space is the limit.

Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and can fit through most doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. These buggies may be a bit larger and could be difficult to get through doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows for two seats to be added and the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry an additional child.
