Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine how easy it is to push. In general, a buggy that is light is easier to lift and carry but it might not have the suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Make sure to read the specifications of each model before you purchase. Certain double buggies have a maximum seat weight and others have an overall frame limit. Certain double buggies can be folded with seats removed, making them lighter and more compact. This is useful if you are limited on storage space.
The tri-fold doubles tend to be the lightest models as only one hand is required to lift the bottom and back sections. They are also smaller than buggies with side-by-side sides and can be accessed through the majority of doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest trifold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

Folding
The most compact double buggies fold up easily in just a few seconds.

For example the Joovy Kooper X2 has straps on each seat that pull up, and the entire thing folds down -- it's a tri-fold that even our most experienced testers can do with one hand.
The lightweight Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a small double buggie. Its lightweight weight is an advantage, but so are its key features such as large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 and peekaboo windows swing-away bars that aid children get in and out of the seats and reclining seats and leg rests for younger children.
Manoeuvrability

Some pushchairs, such as the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better at this than other models.
The narrow tandem buggies are good at this as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a bit longer and could be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this, because it's a comparatively small pushchair that allows two seats to be added as well as an important feature - a 'piggyback' board that can carry the third child.
