Some double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and smaller. This is a great option in cases where you have limited storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are generally the lightest, since they only require a single hand to lift the back and lower sections. They are also narrower than side by side buggies and can fit through most doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 tri-fold double is among the lightest on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.
