The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is needed to lift the lower and back sections.

Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are more efficient at this than other models.

This is where narrow tandem buggies as well as side-by-side designs can come in useful. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and may be difficult to maneuver through doors.
