A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two children similar in age, a double buggy could be a game changer. They are wider and have more seating options than single strollers.
However, they don't necessarily have to be bulky or heavy. Some are small and fold flat, making them easier to move through tight spaces or to climb and descend stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
At just 6.6 kg the stroller is light and compact, featuring an intelligent auto-fold mechanism that takes only seconds to operate. It can be used from birth with the bassinet option (sold separately) and is also approved by the cabin for use in overhead bins on flights - although it's always best to inquire with your airline's regulations as they can differ. Jane, our mum-of-two tester, says the Influencer Air is incredibly easy to push and offers good stability. She also likes the fact that the sun canopy can be adjusted, offering good coverage for taller children and that the stroller has a travel cup holder. You can purchase extra accessories like a transparent rain cover and a Teddy Footmuff which combines a comfortable teddy sherpa liner with a water-resistant outer fabric for colder temperatures.
Leclerc's Baby Impactcer XL is an upgrade over its peers thanks to its stunning design, vibrant colours and a beautifully constructed frame and fabric materials. Its one-touch folding system allows it to be folded and unfurled in just 1.5 seconds. This makes it perfect for everyday use, as well as long-distance trips. It's also supplied with an easy-to-use travel bag, whether you're packing it in the car on the train or in the overhead compartment of your plane when you jet off on holiday.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great choice for parents with a budget who want a lightweight buggy that has a variety of distinctive nifty features. This includes an ingenious ride-on board, an extremely large basket, and car seat adapters. The risers are optional and can be used to turn it into the form of a tandem.
It's a joy to push, with a good turning circle and soft suspension that bounces gently over bumps. It's also simple to move around, even if children are in the seat above the front wheels. It's a bit more difficult to navigate over steep curbs because the weight shifts forward when it's used in double mode, but this is true of most twin buggies.
The back wheels have been made slightly smaller in this 2021 update which makes it easier to navigate tight spaces such as doors and shops and on public transport. The tyres are also very sturdy and have treads that can handle mud and grass. It's easy to fold too. Just release a clip near the back wheels and pull two levers towards the handle. When folded, it can stand on its own. There's also a sun screen for the seat and carrycot that can be put on in seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo is a cheerful combination designed and engineered to make traveling with two children as simple as possible. It is one of the lightest twin-strollers available on the market and is easy to ride, drive and load. It can be folded flat with just one hand, and is able to stand on its own. It's also compatible with Joie Gemm and i-Snug infant car seats (car seat sold separately) to create the complete travel system.
Push Chairs And Prams does not fully recline. However, this is a minor issue in an otherwise excellent double buggy. You can't add an extra board to the buggy, but this is not unusual for side-by-side designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is an exquisite buggy that can be made even better with just a few tweaks. It's easy to drive and the seats are comfortable for children of all ages. The handle is padded to make it easier to grip, and the wheels are suspended to ensure an enjoyable ride. It's also extremely robust and has a large amount of storage space, particularly when you attach the shopping basket. It's also a stylish pushchair, with a variety of appealing colour options.
