Certain double buggies can fold with the seats removed, which makes them lighter and smaller. This is a great option when you're limited on storage space.

Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest of models, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They're also narrower than side-by-side buggies, making them an ideal choice for fitting through doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles available on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

Tandem buggies start out as a single pushchair but come with adapters to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat, making them an ideal choice for growing families.

Manoeuvrability

When selecting a compact double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes how easy it is for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs are more efficient than others and include the iCandy's "cinema chair" (where the back is elevated).

This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs can be useful. However, these can be more substantial overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doorways.

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

Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly flexible. This is particularly true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie.
