A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids 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 have to be bulky or heavy. Some have narrow designs and fold flat, making them easier to squeeze into tight spaces or to go up and down steps.
Leclerc Influencer
This compact stroller weighs only 6.6 kg and comes with an auto-folding mechanism that can be operated in a matter of minutes. It can be used from birth using the optional bassinet (sold separately) and is approved by the cabin to be used in overhead bins during flights – although it’s always best to check with your airline as regulations can differ. Jane is our mother of two test subject, states that the Influencer Air is incredibly easy to push and offers good stability. She also likes the fact that the sun canopy is adjustable providing adequate coverage for taller children and that the stroller has an integrated cup holder for travel. You can purchase additional accessories like a transparent rain cover and an Teddy Footmuff, which combines an insulated teddy-sherpa liner with an outer fabric that can withstand water in colder weather.
Leclerc’s Baby Influencer is an upgrade over its competitors with its stunning design, vibrant colors and beautifully constructed frame and fabric materials. Its quick folding system that is one-touch allows it to be folded and unfolded in 1.5 seconds, making it ideal for use in everyday life or on long trips. It comes with a travel case to make it easier. It can be put in a bag in your car, on a train, or in the overhead compartment of a plane.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents with cash to spend who want a lightweight buggy with plenty of unique cool features. This includes an ingenious ride-on board, a spacious basket and car seat adapters. The optional risers can be used to convert it into the form of a tandem.
It’s easy to push, with a good turning circle and soft suspension that bounces gently over bumps. It is also easy to move around, even if toddlers are sitting on the front wheels. It’s more difficult to negotiate large curbs as the weight shifts to the front when used in double mode, but this is true of most twin buggies.
This update for 2021 has made the rear wheels a bit smaller, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight areas like doors, shops, and public transport. The tyres are robust and come with treads that can handle mud and grass. It’s also easy to fold – simply releasing an attachment on the back wheels and pulling two levers on the handle pops it up in a matter of seconds. It’s freestanding when folded as well. A sun screen made of mesh is also available for the carrycot and seat. It can be put on in seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo was designed to make traveling with two people as easy as is possible. It weighs in at just 10kg which makes it one of the lightest twin strollers available on the market. It’s super easy to move, ride or carry and load. It can be folded in one hand, and stands on its own. It’s also compatible with Joie’s Gemm and iSnug infant seat (car seats are sold separately) to create an entire travel system.
The rear seat doesn’t fully recline. But, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent double buggy. There is no way to add an extra board to the buggy, however this is not unusual for side-by-side designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is a stunning buggy that is able to be improved upon by a few minor adjustments. It’s easy to drive and the seats are very comfortable for children of all ages. The handle is cushioned, so it’s more comfortable to hold and the wheels are equipped with suspension to ensure a smooth ride. It is also very sturdy and has plenty of storage space. It’s also a stylish pushchair, with a range of striking colours.
Baby Jogger City Mini
The Baby Jogger City Mini is stroller that comes with many features in the smallest frame. It is designed to help parents travel in style and ease of use while carrying their children. The stroller comes with a large storage basket and an adjustable canopy that shields against wind and sun. The stroller has a stylish design and a suspension system of high quality.
This stroller is compatible with one of the infant car seats. Baby Jogger offers a variety of car seat adapters that work with the majority of major brands. It is compatible with Graco, Maxi Cosi, Britax, and Cybex infant car seats. The stroller double is also able to transform into a pram by attaching the included glider board and child tray.
The City Mini is easy to fold and compact enough to fit through most doors. It has a movable handlebar and a manually operated parking brake. The storage basket is big and can accommodate several shopping bags. The seats are padded, and recline to a near flat position. This is perfect for napping. The leg support is not adjustable, and can cause legs to dangle. The City Mini GT2 is available in a variety of colors and can be paired with a variety of accessories, including UV 50 canopies and magnetic peekaboo windows.
Baby Jogger City Select
The Baby Jogger City Select stroller is a versatile dream that can fit up to three kids with the inclusion of a glider board. It comes with 24 different configurations to attach bassinets, infant car seats and standard stroller chairs. It also comes with an exclusive double rear-facing option. This is the top-rated double pushchair buggy for those looking for a durable all-terrain stroller with plenty of seating options.
It comes with a fantastic canopy with plenty of coverage that is easily adjustable to different head heights. It’s higher than the majority of its rivals, so it may not be suitable for parents who have shorter strides, but is still a good choice for those with longer strides. The front wheels are able to swivel or lock, which is a great feature to navigate through rough terrain.
This stroller has one drawback: it doesn’t collapse like other strollers in this guide. The second seat needs to be removed in order to fold the stroller, which could be a challenge if you intend to keep it in a car or closet. It is among the largest storage bins in our rankings so it is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a light double-stroller for their family.
Baby Jogger City Elite
The Baby Jogger City Elite double stroller is a great choice if you are looking for a light, high-quality stroller. The jogger is modern and luxurious and comfort on any terrain. The stroller features two comfortable reclining seats, adjustable support for the calf, UV 50+ canopy and a large storage basket. It has an in-seat, one-step fold and adjustable handlebar. It is able to fit through any standard doorway and has an automated parking brake that can be operated by hand. It also works with car seat adapters, which makes it easy to turn this stroller into a travel system.
The City Elite isn’t cheap, however it has a great price for resales and is built to last for many years of adventures with your kids. This is a great option for parents who wish to be able to spend time outdoors with their children or go for long runs without having to hire a babysitter.
The new City Mini GT2 double stroller is similar to the original version, but it features soft and more textured material. It has a curved handlebar that is much better and is easier to move. The canopy is extended further to provide shade and a peekaboo window. It folds with only one hand. This is a fantastic feature for a busy parent who needs to quickly adjust your stroller when you’re on the move.
Graco SnugRide SnugLock
The Graco SnugRide SnugLock is a rear facing only infant car seat that includes the base. It features an exclusive SnugLock arm that functions as a giant clamp that holds the seatbelt in place. This arm can be easily closed with just one hand, and requires only a little force to close. It is especially suited for parents or grandparents with arthritis or limited strength. It’s a great alternative for people who prefer to put in seatbelts, but don’t need LATCH.
This model has a range of options, including a silent canopy and a harness with no rethread. It also comes with a one handed handle adjustment and can be converted into a high chair. The SnugRide SnugLock DLX is a bit narrow at 17 inches, which makes it an ideal choice for three-wheeled vehicles. It also has a load-leg that minimizes rotation while also absorbing the impact forces.
The FAA has granted it approval for both domestic and foreign travel. It can be fitted without the base by using standard belt routing or European routing (the seatbelt has to be routed through the lap section and not the shoulder section). You can also install the carrier inside the vehicle seat with the lower anchors or lockoff.
