The weight of a double buggie will determine the ability to push. A lighter buggy is simpler to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Most double buggies come with an upper limit on the weight of each seat, and some have overall frame weight limits, so it's important to check the details of each model prior to you purchase. Some double buggies can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller and lighter. This is helpful in cases where you have limited storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest models, as they only require a single hand to lift the back and bottom sections. They are also smaller than side by side buggies and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market. It can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Folding

The light Delta Children LX side by side is another excellent option for a double buggie. Its light weight is a plus but is the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo window as well as swing-away bars to assist children to get into and out of seats and reclining chair and leg rests for toddlers.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double stroller, it is important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Some pushchairs, for instance the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than others.
This is the reason why narrow tandem buggies and side-by-side designs come in handy. However, they can be slightly longer overall and so may be tricky to maneuver through doorways.
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 an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can be used to carry the third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, such as the phil&teds Dot are also incredibly agile. This is particularly the case with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie.
