Tri-fold doubles are usually the lightest, since they only require one hand to lift the back and lower sections. They're also a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, making them ideal to fit through doorways. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a toddler and baby.

The narrow tandem buggies are excellent at this and so can side-by-side designs. However, these can be more substantial overall, and therefore could be difficult to navigate through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 pushchair is an excellent example, considering that it's a narrow model that allows for two additional seats and more importantly, the pillion board, which can be used to accommodate a third child.
