A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids close in age, a double buggy could be a game changer. They are wider and have more seating options than single strollers.
They don't have to be heavy or bulky. Some have narrow designs and fold flat to make it more compact for fitting into tight spots or going up and down the stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
This stroller is lightweight at 6.6 kg and features an auto-folding mechanism which can be operated in a matter of seconds. The bassinet is available separately and can be used from the time of birth. It's a cabin-approved stroller that can be placed in overhead bins of flights. Jane the mother of two who is our tester, says the Influencer Air is super-easy to push and provides good stability. She also loves that the sun canopy can be adjusted to give adequate coverage for taller children, and that it comes with a travel-cup holder. You can purchase extra accessories like a transparent rain cover as well as a Teddy Footmuff which combines a cozy teddy sherpa lining and a water-resistant outer fabric to keep you warm in colder weather.
Leclerc's Baby Influencer XL is an upgrade over its rivals thanks to its stunning design, vibrant colours and beautifully constructed frame and fabric materials. Its one-touch, super-quick folding mechanism allows it to fold and unfurl in just 1.5 seconds. This makes it ideal for daily use and longer trips. It comes with a travel case for convenience. You can pack it in your car, on a train, or in the overhead compartment on a plane.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents who are style-conscious and have a budget but need a light stroller that has lots of fun features. The iCandy Orange comes with an integrated ride-on board as well as an enormous basket. It can also be configured to form a tandem using the risers available.
It is easy to push with its excellent turning circle and the suspension bounces off bumps. It's also easy to manoeuvre even with a toddler in the seat, which is a good thing since it has front wheels. In double mode, it's a bit more difficult to navigate big curbs, since the weight shifts in front. However this is the case for the majority of twin buggies.
This 2021 update has made the rear wheels a bit smaller, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight areas, such as doors, shops and public transport. The tyres are also very robust and have treads that can withstand mud and grass. It's easy to fold as well - just remove a clip on the back wheels and pull two levers at the handle. When folded, it can stand on its own. A sun screen made of mesh is also available for the carrycot and seat. It can be put on in a matter of seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo is a fun and cheerful combo that was engineered and designed to make travelling with two as easy as it can be. It weighs just 10kg which makes it one of the most lightweight
twin pushchairs strollers on the market, and it's super easy to ride, drive, lift and load. It can be folded flat with just one hand, and is able to stand on its own. It also works with Joie's Gemm and iSnug infant seat (car seats are sold separately) to create a complete travel system.
The only downside is that the rear seat does not fully recline, but that's not a major issue for an otherwise fantastic double buggy. Another issue is that you cannot add a buggy board, however that's not uncommon in side-by-side designs.
Overall, the Evalite is a lovely buggy that with some small tweaks could become a perfect model. The seats are comfortable for children of all age and it is easy to drive. The handle is padded making it easier to grip and the wheels are equipped with suspension for an enjoyable ride. It's also very sturdy and has a decent amount of storage space, particularly when you attach the shopping basket. It's also a stylish stroller that comes in a range of attractive colors.
Baby Jogger City Mini

second hand double buggy. The storage basket is spacious and can accommodate a few shopping bags. The seats are cushioned, and recline to an almost flat position. This is great for naps. However, the leg support isn't adjustable, and might cause dangling legs. The City Mini GT2 comes in a variety of colors and can be paired up with a number of accessories like UV 50 canopies or magnetic peekaboo windows.
Baby Jogger City Select
The Baby Jogger City Select stroller is a multi-faceted dream that can accommodate up to three children, with the addition of a gliderboard. It comes with 24 different configurations for attaching infant car seats, bassinets and standard stroller chairs. It also comes with a unique double rear-facing option. It's a top-rated double stroller for those who need a variety of seating options, as well as a durable, all-terrain buggy.
It comes with a fantastic canopy that offers ample coverage that can be easily adjusted to different head heights. It's a bit higher than its rivals, so it may not be suitable for parents with shorter strides, but is still a good choice for those with more strides. The front wheels can be used to lock or pivot, which is ideal to steer on uneven terrain.
The only drawback to this stroller is that it doesn't fold like the other strollers in our list. The
second hand double buggy seat has to be removed in order to fold the stroller, which can be a challenge if you need to store it in a vehicle or closet. It does have one of the largest storage bins in our rankings, so it will still be a decent fit for people who require a lightweight double stroller for their children.

The new City Mini GT2 is similar to the first model, but it has a soft and more smooth material. It has a curved handlebar that is much better and is easier to move. The canopy extends further, providing real shade as well as a peekaboo. One of the greatest features is that it can fold using just one hand.
