9 Things Your Parents Taught You About Lightweight Double Buggy
A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two children similar in age, a double pram and pushchair buggy could be a game changer. They are larger and offer more seating options than single strollers.
But, they don't need to be heavy or heavy. Some come with narrow designs and fold flat to make them more compact for fitting into tight spaces or to go up and down stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
With a weight of just 6.6 kg, this sleek stroller is super-light and compact double buggy, featuring an intelligent auto-folding mechanism that takes only seconds to operate. It can be used from birth using the bassinet that is available (sold separately), and is cabin-approved to be used in overhead bins during flights but it's best to inquire with your airline as regulations can differ. Jane, our mum-of-two tester, says the Influencer Air is extremely easy to push and provides good stability. She also appreciates that the sun canopy is adjustable, offering good coverage for taller children and the stroller comes with the capacity to hold a cup for travel. You can also purchase additional accessories like a clear rain cover and Teddy Footmuff which combines a comfortable teddy sherpa liner with a water-resistant outer fabric for colder temperatures.
The Leclerc Baby Influencer XL blows the competition out of the water with its stunning design, stunning colours and well-constructed fabric and frame materials. Its super-quick one-touch folding mechanism allows it to be folded and unfolded in 1.5 seconds which makes it perfect for use in everyday life or on long trips. It also comes with a travel bag for convenience, whether you're packing it for the car or on the train, or in the overhead compartment of your plane as you jet off on holiday.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great choice for parents who are style-conscious and have a budget to spend, but want a lightweight stroller with lots of cool features. The iCandy Orange comes with an integrated ride-on board as well as a large basket. The risers that are available can be used to convert it into the form of a tandem.
It feels easy to push, with a nice turning circle and a soft suspension that bounces lightly over bumps. It's also simple to maneuver, even with a child in the seat, which is a good thing since it has front wheels. It's a little tougher to get over large curbs because the weight shifts forward when in double mode, however this is true of most twin buggies.
This 2021 update has made the rear wheels a bit smaller, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces, such as doors, shops and public transportation. The tyres are robust and come with treads that are able to handle grass and mud. It's easy to fold too. Just open a clip in the vicinity of the rear wheels and pull two levers towards the handle. When folded, it stands on its own. There's also a mesh sun screen for the seat and carrycot which can be popped on in a matter of seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo is a cheery combo engineered and designed to make travelling with two kids as easy as is possible. It weighs in at just 10kg, making it one of the most lightweight twin strollers on the market. It's extremely easy to ride, drive and lift and load. The stroller folds flat using just one hand, and it can be set up by itself when not in use. It's also compatible with Joie's Gemm and iSnug infant seats (car seats sold separately) to create an entire travel system.
The rear seat isn't able to fully recline. This is a minor issue in an otherwise excellent double buggy. It's not possible to add a board to the buggy, however this is not unusual for side-by-side designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is an exquisite buggy that could be improved upon with just a few tweaks. The seats are comfortable for children of any age, and it's simple to drive. The handle is cushioned so it's easier to grip and the wheels have suspension for an enjoyable ride. It's also extremely robust and has a large amount of storage space, especially when you attach the shopping basket. It's also a stylish pushchair with a wide choice of striking colours.

This stroller has one drawback it is that it's not able to fold as compactly as other models in this guide. The second seat must be removed in order to fold the stroller, which could be a problem if want to store it in your vehicle or closet.
