A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
A double stroller is a great option when you have twins, or two children of similar ages. They provide more seating configurations and are typically bigger than single strollers.
However, they don't need to be bulky or heavy. Some are slim and fold flat, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces, or up and down stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
This stroller is lightweight at 6.6 kg and has an auto-folding mechanism which can be operated in a matter of minutes. It can be used from birth using the bassinet that is available (sold separately), and is cabin-approved to be used in overhead bins on flights - although it's always best to inquire with your airline's guidelines as they can differ. Jane the mother of our two testers, said the Influencer Air was easy to push and offered good stability. She also likes the fact that the sun canopy can be adjusted, offering good coverage for taller children, and the stroller comes with an integrated cup holder for travel. You can also purchase extra accessories, such as a transparent cover for rain and a Teddy Footmuff, which combines an insulated teddy-sherpa liner with an outer fabric that is water-resistant in colder weather.

It's a little tougher to negotiate large curbs as the weight shifts to the front when it's used in double mode, but this is the case with most twin buggies.
The back wheels have been made slightly smaller in the 2021 update which makes it easier to maneuver through tight spaces like the entrances to shops and doors, as well as on public transport.

A drawback is that the seat in the rear doesn't fully recline however, it's a minor flaw for an otherwise great double buggy . Another disadvantage is that you aren't able to add an extra buggy, but this isn't uncommon in side-by-side designs.
double pram and pushchair , the Evalite is a wonderful buggy that, with a few adjustments could be perfect. It's light to drive and the seats are very comfortable for children of all age groups.

The only downside to this stroller is that it can't fold as compactly as some of the other strollers in our list.
